At our annual installation banquet that was held in earlier December, I had the honor and privilege as your 2011 Affiliate of the Year to pass on the plaque to the 2012 Affiliate chosen by the LoCar committee. I take this award very seriously and after serving 2 ½ years as your Affiliate Director on the Board of Directors, I fully understand how important it is that our association works and interacts with our affiliates. This presentation meant a little bit more to me this time around as I was not only pleased with their selection, but very proud of the candidate chosen, Lindsey McTimmonds. I have had the privilege to work with and watch this person grow in our industry here at Cascade Title. I hired Lindsey as a summer temp back in 2006 and made clear this position was temporary in nature, but her hard work, dedication and determination convinced me that she was someone I wanted to keep on my team and to build a foundation of those employees a good manager needs to make their company a well-oiled machine.  

Lindsey has definitely demonstrated the desire and passion to help our customers achieve a successful transaction. Her genuine concern and customer follow through helps me feel that our company will continue to provide that extra bit of attention that sets us apart from the others and this foundation will be here for years to come. Every one of us agrees that what we do here takes team work, but when one is being noticed for going above and beyond, we all feel that extra dose of pride for them and Cascade Title. I am extremely proud of the fact that the Affiliate of the Year award has again been given to one at Cascade Title and extremely proud of Lindsey. It is my promise to you that once you have tried Cascade Title, you will see why our team can make a difference with "Consistent, Courteous and Complete Title and Escrow Services".
