Facilitation and Organization

Resume/Brief

Over the years I've had a couple of great careers and several rewarding jobs. I enjoy working toward goals, yours and mine, so when you are thinking about projects, I hope you will keep me in mind.

My greatest strengths are my interpersonal skills, problem solving and the organization of systems, spaces and objects.

I've been an innovator, entrepreneur, executive and business owner. In the 70's I directed the personnel/industrial relations functions of a large corporation for a high tech business of 650 personnel with 3 divisions in California, and a manufacturing facility in Puerto Rico.

For most of the 80's, I owned and operated a manufacturing company, designing, distributing and installing cutting edge low volume drip and micro-spray irrigation systems for a thirsty world. The customers in my business were irrigating row crops, tree farms, container nurseries and backyard landscapes.

More recently I've aligned myself with local water concerns, this time with the global initiative out of New York, Nowater-nolife.org, as their West Coast Representative, and Field and Expedition Photographer during several years of heavy drought in California.

Today, I'm using many of the skills I've acquired in a new venture, organizing all manner of things. It's something I enjoy and can do onsite, as well as remotely.

My purpose is to help create an environment where you can maximize your personal effectiveness and ensure productivity with whatever your needs might be. This is accomplished by us clarifying your goals, so you are able to focus on the best use of your time.

Saving Your Time Is My Business!

Alison M Jones

Conservation Photographer

Annette was the office manager for my photography business for 4 years and instrumental with the transition as I moved my office from California to New York. She easily adapts to changing business conditions, as I learned when photography switched from film to digital images. She is excellent at setting up management systems and worked well with our agents and suppliers as well as at overseeing and guiding our interns. During extensive periods of my overseas travels, she kept the business going in a seamless manner. I recommend her highly.

Facilitation/Organization

Private Client

Annette was recommended to me in 2014. She was able to organize 30 years of chaos pertaining to my trust, based on her management expertise, discretionary budget planning and maintenance. This involves direct contact with bankers, lawyers and my personal files to assist in providing me with a quality life for many years now. Annette also handled my brother’s affairs for several years before his death. I continue to rely on Annette and she remains a valuable friend.
