Million Dollar Club: Southwestern Travel Group
“May 29, 2012, is the day I started my career as the Executive Assistant to Henry Bedford, my mentor, coach, and personal friend. During my first year at Southwestern Family of Companies, I took on a major project to create an internally-managed travel program for the (then) 16 operating divisions, managing over $5 million in annual travel spend. In just a few years of collecting company travel data, conducting intense industry research, and perfecting the vendor contract negotiation process, we achieved a savings of over $500,000.”
