PATH Intl. Staff Spotlight
|
|
Members have spoken to let their region reps know they would like to know more about the PATH Intl. staff and who they need to call for information. In the next few weeks, PATH Intl. eNews will be highlighting different staff members (particularly the new ones). As always, members can check out the staff directory on the website for contact information.
Missy Dedrick, PATH Intl. Member Programs Coordinator
 My name is Missy, I have been with PATH Intl. since March of this year.
I am not a horse person, though I admire those who are.
My career history is military and 911 dispatch. I spent six years in the Army Reserve as a chaplain assistant with one tour in Afghanistan. After deployment I came home to finish my bachelor's degree in political science, while working for a security company in Denver. After that I was employed by the Black Hawk, CO, police department as a 911 dispatcher. I loved this job, and I wanted to stay; however, my body would not adjust to working the grave shift. After three years I decided I needed a career change, particularly to a field that was satisfying but also provided regular day time work hours. So I chose the field of nonprofits and went back to school to earn a master's degree in nonprofit management. That's when I found PATH Intl.!
My job with PATH Intl., in a nut shell, is to focus on keeping members happy. I work on keeping current member programs and benefits up and running and researching future benefits and best practices. I also help make things run smoothly such as regional outreach efforts and volunteer engagement. Something I try to keep in mind is if our members are happy, they can focus on making their participants happy.
