Meet: Christy Cummings, Sales Associate

“It is such a great feeling to be surrounded by friends that keep you motivated and want to see you succeed.”

What do you do?

I work directly with Sean Soth, Senior VP, to support the sales efforts of the Account Executives and all the portfolios that he manages. I help with everything from prospecting to marketing pieces and everything in between.

What is the most rewarding part of working with Network?

I absolutely adore all the people I work with every day. It is such a great feeling to walk into work and be surrounded by friends that keep you motivated and want to see you succeed.

What has been your biggest challenge at Network?

The biggest challenge would have to be juggling all the tasks that are brought to my plate each day. When working with multiple Account Executives and portfolios, it keeps my day full of many different projects.

What are you most proud of?

I’m most proud of my 2008 Rookie of the Year award. This was so special because it was nice to know that even though my career at Network had just begun, I was already making an impact and helping our sales team achieve positive results.

What keeps you busy outside of the office?

Painting, running, my family, my friends.

Network staff treat families at the Ronald McDonald House to dinner

The culture at Network revolves around partnerships—with our associations, our advertisers and each other. We have also been working on building partnerships with the greater Baltimore community through philanthropy efforts.

In August, we teamed up with the Ronald McDonald House in Baltimore to host a dinner for the families staying there. The Ronald McDonald House provides a home environment for families with seriously ill
children undergoing treatment at nearby hospitals. This “home-away-from-home” provides a much-needed support system to the children and families going through a difficult time.

Everyone here at Network was able to contribute to this event—from researching the organization, donating money and purchasing food, to preparing and serving the meal. We had a great time making dinner —chicken on the grill, pasta, cupcakes, brownies, ice cream, and more—with plenty of leftovers for the families to take to the hospital for the children there. We were also able to spend time with the families staying at the House and are looking forward to hosting another event in the future.

—Brittany Sullivan, Account Executive.
