A Smile is Just The Beginning

Behind that smile put a positive attitude, a great work ethic, intelligence and a kind spirit and you have the Philly Temps & Perm Employee of the month for July 2018 Keisha D.

Conference Registration, Session Scanner/Monitor, Materials Distribution, CME Station Clerk, Keisha has done it all and more. She has a knack for absorbing information and being able to answer event specific questions before our clients have shared everything. And most importantly, Keisha never seems to get flustered or overwhelmed by the crowd’s at large events. 

Maybe that’s because Keisha (and her Twin brother Kevin) were literally raised at Special Events. Their Mother, Terrie is the Assistant Director at The AIDS Fund and her children have been helping her at events for years. They are so dedicated that it is still challenging to get them to work for us on a day when Gay Bingo is scheduled. (We don’t even ask when its AIDS Walk weekend.)

Thank You Keisha for keeping it Up Beat, keeping it Professional and keeping it Fun. You’re such a positive force that it was challenge to find a photo where one of your coworkers was NOT smiling because of you.

We can not wait to see what the future holds for you.
