They organize daily calendars, schedule meetings both internally and externally, and organize a wide range of other logistics, from travel to catering. They also take part in meetings; preparing agendas, taking minutes, and preparing materials.


They are passionate about not only keeping things organized, but keeping our Executive staff well-informed and prepared. This means monitoring budgets, highlighting variances, and working with external vendors. They are also strong relationship-builders; working with various other members of the Northbridge leadership team to ensure that all correspondence and information is up-to-date and accurate.
