As an executive board member of the Orlando Chapter I can only say how valuable a team member Kayla and Paragon have been to our chapter. It's really great to see her hard work and dedication come to fruition through this promotion. Kayla is a tremendous asset to your company and to all of those she readily supports. Good luck in your new position and now you can take me out to dinner with the big raise that Renee gave you.
