Sarah worked side-by-side with John Hachmeister and was able to gain a true understanding of the vision and values he had for JHL. The value that John placed in his people, and the creation of a supportive “all-in” culture is a cornerstone of her work today. Sarah works collaboratively with the marketing department to create and communicate the JHL cultural experience, both internally and externally.
Our Marketing Team is continuing to grow with the addition of a Proposal Manager. This position plays a key role in our marketing and business development strategic efforts and will lead and manage the proposal development process while also assisting with other marketing initiatives.
“This is an exciting time for the Marketing department.
