Meet Michele Bagnoni
Executive Officer
BA of Northwestern PA
Michele Bagnoni officially began her position as the Executive Officer for the BA of Northwestern PA on September 7. She was able to dip her toe into the job for a couple days but then Michele had a previously planned event on September 11 - her wedding! Congratulations!
After returning from her honeymoon, Michele rolled up her sleeves and really got things rolling on September 27.
A native of Erie, Michele explained that she has had an interesting career.
"I started at Second Harvest Food Bank (non-profit) where I was the Events Coordinator for 5 years; then Channellock (Hand Tools) where I was the Communications and Training Manager for 5 years; Loyal Christian Benefit Association (Life Insurance) where I was VP Membership & Marketing for 5 years; Bickford Senior Living (Healthcare) Community Relations Director for 1 year; and now I am here."
Michele is hitting the ground running by setting goals for herself to get out and meet members to find out how and what the BA can do to help them. She plans to make connections in the community to help get the word out about the association in order to gain new members and let the public know to connect with them "instead of Angie's List!" In addition, she plans to revamp the website and marketing materials.
"The people, the members, and everyone who I have had contact with so far have been so welcoming and helpful," she said.
When she's not working, family time is important to Michele who quickly admits that she has a "super close Italian family that still does Sunday dinner every week." As a newlywed, she is enjoying time with her husband, David, and her stepchildren Morgan (16) and Aiden (13). And, of course, there's the family dog, Mya. She loves to travel and go to concerts and is usually up for any kind of adventure.
Welcome, Michele!
