WENDY NOVAK CELEBRATES 10 ABC YEARS (08/15/2008)
Vice President of Membership Wendy Novak just celebrated 10 years at ABC. Wendy started off “at the front desk” answering phones, opening mail and generally helping out. There was only five staff at that time and 250 members. She had worked in manufacturing prior to ABC but never felt challenged or excited to make a career of it, so she decided to stay home and be a mom for a few years. When she found ABC she was looking for a job that would get her back into the work scene again. It certainly worked out for Wendy and ABC! She enjoys working with ABC members and the opportunity to assist them with their business needs while sharing with non-members the benefits available to them as well.
Since then, Wendy has moved steadily through the membership department, which she now heads. Last year the chapter won nearly every National membership award possible. She has achieved the platinum status in ABC’s Membership Director Certification Program and represents the 17 western U.S. chapters on the National Membership Directors’ Council. In her “spare time,” Wendy is a wife, mom of two kids and is pursuing her master’s degree in business. Her recreational activity of choice is competitive go-kart racing.
We appreciate all Wendy does for ABC. We have all benefited from her drive to excel in all she does and to always take on new challenges. Congratulations, Wendy, and thanks so much!
