Melinda Schmiedeknecht is our Marketing Director who wonders how she could have worked for Rolls-Royce for 3 years and still not have one. It is fortunate for us that she can literally lose track of time when putting together the right words or pouring over the details of our website. You can learn more about her by clicking here.
Cathy Rex is the Managing Area Director for BNI chapters in Georgia and is affectionately known as “T Rex.” She has been with us since 2002 and since joining our Visitor Follow Up Team has learned to live with a phone glued to her ear. To learn more about Cathy, please click here.

Jeanne Alexander is the Director of Support Services. We happen to think she did a superb job of raising David, our CEO, but that doesn’t call for preferential treatment around here. (Well, maybe just a little.) Truthfully, Jeanne earned her spot on our management team as all of the directors and members in her care will tell you. For more about Jeanne, please click here.
Hugh Grey is the Managing Area Director for BNI chapters in the Charlotte and Asheville areas of North Carolina. He also spearheads the operations of our Training Division.
