“Judith joined the ARF Knowledge Center to fill-in for a colleague out on a 6-month leave. Ours is a very high volume operation servicing ARF’s over 400 corporate members. Everything is vital and urgent; timeliness, relevance, and completeness are demanded. Judith stepped into this with aplomb. The Center never missed a beat, our users remained happy and satisfied, with several sending along very complimentary notes of thanks that explicitly mentioned the value of Judith’s response. Beyond doing a great job as a Knowledge Specialist, Judith contributed in additional ways, such as putting together our weekly publication 5 Cups of Morning Coffee. She worked very well with our members and was a real asset from a relationship standpoint.”
