Meet Maureen Heaney, our cherished Office Manager in Manchester, NH! We're shining the spotlight on her incredible contributions to CCA Global Partners for the past 8 years. Maureen happily discusses the two aspects of CCA that captivated her from the start, "First, the corporate culture drew me to CCA: 'People over profits.' CCA treats its staff as family. Second, using the cooperative model to help small businesses thrive is inspiring; that effort could result in growing the middle class." Today, she most enjoys seeing the smiles on her colleagues' faces when they take a moment to pause and enjoy each other's company while at work. In her own words, Maureen's favorite activities outside of the office are "Baking and working out, because I bake." Join us in thanking Maureen for keeping our Manchester office running like a well-oiled machine, and a welcoming & positive place for all!
Today marks a monumental milestone for Accounts Payable Coordinator, Pam Piwowarczyk, and CCA Global Partners, as we celebrate her 30th work-iversary! 💙 Pam has been a crucial asset to CCA teams since her start with Carpet One Floor & Home on March 1st,1994. Since then, teams have watched Pam make meaningful strides in the workplace as well as reach milestones at home, raising her two daughters Jamie and Ashlee, and now having all kinds of fun with her two adorable granddaughters, Millee and Lola. Pam's supervisor, Jill Tsoulfanidis, chimes in on the value & vitality of her work for CCA, saying, "Pam is an integral part of our accounts payable team. She processes and pays all of the vendor invoices for our three corporately owned ProSource Wholesale showrooms, located in St. Louis, Fenton, and Collinsville. She is valued by both accounting and the showrooms. Pam is always positive and just a genuine pleasure to all she encounters."
This past Friday, associates in St. Louis celebrated Mardis Gras in style at our annual Winter Event! 💙⚜ From dazzling beads and dancing to beignets and hurricanes, a big shoutout to those who came out & made it a night to remember.
CCA Global University's Training Project Manager, Tim James, was featured as a rising star for "Showroom Excellence" by the @ Association for Talent Development in their distinguished Training & Development Magazine, in which he speaks to his ongoing passion for learning and hand in the recently launched onboarding & training kits for Retail 2.0. Go, Tim!
CCA Global Partners is shining this month's spotlight brightly on Ariel Prittie, who plays a crucial role for @Carpet One Floor & Home as our Regional Business Consultant partnering with the mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. Ariel feels privileged to be able to develop relationships with and support small businesses, while also believing that her role allows for continuous professional development with an opportunity to constantly grow her skills & knowledge in areas that she may not have been previously exposed to. Sharing her own knowledge through experience, Ariel articulates that, "Accepting change is not just about coping with the inevitable; it's about leveraging opportunities for growth, innovation, and resilience in both personal and professional aspects of life." She offers a reminder that "CCA is full of heart! Never stop asking questions, and make sure to write the answers down someplace safe!" When she's not working directly with our members, Ariel takes to the White Mountains for some local hiking, the kitchen for no-recipe cooking, or her toolbox for DIY home projects with the help of her black lab.
