The CK Daily – Meet Mandy!
Happy Thursday CK Family!
My name is Mandy Bentley and I’m an account manager for the company. It’s nice to meet you if we haven’t previously worked together! I hit the 14-year anniversary mark this past September and I think Steve Jobs said it best. ‘And the only way to do great work is to love what you do’. I have served in many roles for the company, but out of all of them, helping clients achieve their needs brings me a different sense of joy.
When I’m not working, you can usually find me at the soccer fields. Both of my kids (ages 13 and soon to be 11) play club soccer so we spend 6 days a week participating in some sort of training and competitive games. And I love every minute of it! #GOALLIANCE
Tonight, the UGA girls’ soccer team is hosting Alliance night for our clubs’ players and families. The kids get to skip practice and enjoy a night of fun with their friends, scrimmaging on the field during halftime, and for some, probably hoping and dreaming that this will one day be them on that field!
Enjoy the rest of your week and weekend!
Mandy

This capable 2RU not only has smart power and cooling management, but it also comes equipped with fault tolerance.
