“I am writing this recommendation on behalf of Kathy Dahl who I had the pleasure of working with for almost 10 years at Carlson Marketing Group in her role as a Senior Buyer. I appreciated Kathy for her consistency and accuracy of her work as well as her consiousness of deadlines that were in tact and doing everything possible to meet or exceed those client driven deadlines. I always knew that if she had the answer, it would be sent to me in a very timely manner and that I didn't have to worry about following up with her. Her extensive knowledge of hotels, the new up and coming hotels and venues, her attendtion to detail and her personal continuing education of our industry was very impressive. Her considerate and caring demeanor make people around her feel very comfortable with her and the services she provides. I would highly recommend Kathy for a sourcing position within your organization.”

“Kathy is a fantastic person to work with and to learn from. She has helped me in my personal and professional development in numerous ways. Working together on the Board of Tamarisk I learned that if you are passionate enough about something that you will always find a way to make it work. Kathy's dedication, understanding, and overall leadership are all qualities I try to embody in my everyday life. She seeks to understand before trying to be understood, which illicits the respect of all those she works with. She is extremely results oriented and knows how to get the most productivity out of the teams around her.”

“It is my pleasure to have worked with Kathy for 11 years at Carlson Marketing. While working on the same client account as Kathy, I was particularly impressed with her dedication and commitment to the performance and delivery of quality client incentive programs. In her role as buyer, Kathy worked with me on complex supplier contracts on behalf of a challenging client. Kathy utilized her knowledge of legal terms and conditions and her negotiation skills to draft and execute contracts that were favorable and acceptable to a highly discriminating client. Kathy has a professional demeaner, positive attitude, an amicable personality and has my highest recommendation.”
