Jamie Mitchell Volunteered at Bow Creek Recreation Center
Jamie recently volunteered at the Bow Creek Recreation Center and met Susan Salafranca from IT. Another great thing about volunteering has been meeting great peers from other departments!

Convention Sales Manager
Best thing about job: Interacting with peers! As a 20+ year industry veteran I’ve always recognized this as one of the best aspects of my job. It’s been even more obvious in light of current world events!
Volunteer positions: I volunteer with my church on a regular basis.
Event horror story: I was the Director of an event center and we hosted a Hair & Fashion Show. One of the contestants released live doves (unbeknownst to us). They were scared to death and wouldn’t come down and by the next day we had to call animal control to have them removed!
Hobbies: Game nights, spending time with family, reading, food & wine experiences
Husband/Wife/Kids/Pets: Two sons – Preston (15) and Dawson (9)
Fun fact: I have visited over half the states in the United States (bucket list is to visit all 50 states!)
