LAURIE OPITZ

Student Services Manager, Columbia College

Laurie exemplifies everyday leadership in dozens of ways, far too many to mention here. She is a true leader and has positively impacted our team. She has an open-door policy and a can-do attitude that makes us believe that no problem is insurmountable. She regularly embodies her core values and has been successful in introducing the Day One Leadership program to our team, and successfully leads our Professional Development sessions in working through the book and online program.

Laurie – you have brought our team together in a way that no one else could. You are fearless and demonstrate every single day what it means to be a leader. Thank you for everything you do. Best. Boss. Ever.
