GANA Account Executive Celebrates Decade with
Association
GANA
Account Executive Ashley Charest recently
celebrated her ten year anniversary working for
the Association. Hired by ASC (GANA's
management company) in 1999 as GANA's Meeting
Planner, Charest was named as GANA's Account
Executive a year later.
"Working in
the glass and glazing industry for ten years
now, I am privileged to know the strong and
respected individuals that make up this unique
industry, "said Charest of her time with GANA.
"Amazing advancements have taken place just
within the time I have spent working for GANA,
and I look forward to watching the changes over
the next multitude of years."
Working for
GANA was Charest's first and only job after
college. She received her Bachelor of Arts
Mass Media with an emphasis on Public Relations
from Washburn University in December 1999.
She continued her education while working for
GANA, earning a Master’s Degree in Business
Administration (MBA) from Washburn University in
December 2006. She also earned her
Certification in Non Profit Management in May
2009. She joined the Kansas Society of
Association Executives in 2001, as well as the
American Society of Association Executives in
2007. She is currently working towards her
Certified Association Executive (CAE), and
expects to take the comprehensive accreditation
exam in May of this year.
"Volunteers
are the heart of GANA," said Charest. "I
am honored to work with the finest individuals
that truly have their industry at heart. Our
jobs are made easier by the continuous work that
our members put in to make GANA the success it
is today."
