TESTIMONIALS

“It is very rare to find an individual with the work ethics and passion to do well in every undertaking. Richelle Putnam is that rare and special person! Be it her writing skills at completing complex grant applications or follow-up reports that capture the essence of a project’s details, Richelle is a spot-on communicator. Interpersonal skills are vast and adaptable to any situation. Her ability to create a team effort and facilitate forward motion in her peers is truly first class.” – Kris Gianakos, Former Mississippi Arts Commission Board Commissioner

“In addition to tremendous communication skills, Richelle is highly motivated and very astute in today’s technological society. She understands the tech world and has the knowledge to aggressively function or compete in it but more importantly she realizes that while technology is an ever-growing trend, there will never become a time when “old-fashioned” integrity, pride in one’s work and competency become extinct.” – Marty GamblinFormer Executive Director of The Mississippi Arts & Entertainment Center

“I highly recommend Richelle, who was responsible for creating social media posts and updating our various sites. Richelle has excellent communication skills. In addition, she is extremely organized, reliable and computer literate. Richelle can work independently and is able to follow through to ensure that the job gets done. She is flexible and willing to work on any project that an organization’s leadership deems critical. Richelle would be a tremendous asset and has my highest recommendation. – Mark TullosFormer Executive Director of The MAX
