Thank You Nancy Dobler

Nancy Dobler joined the Senate Presidents’ Forum in 1997 and rapidly became integral to the smooth and efficient functioning of the growing organization. With her exceptional organizational skills, she ensured that people were informed about all programs, that their travel arrangements went smoothly, and that the thousands of complex puzzle pieces that make up a Senate Presidents’ Forum event meshed perfectly. Her spreadsheets were legendary for their precision. Over the years as she took on more roles and responsibilities, her title changed to Managing Director.

 

But Nancy’s ultimate title might be “Hostess with the Mostest,” as she greeted all arrivals at meetings from 2002 on, making sure that everyone felt welcome. As a result, she was friends with everyone who attended and stayed up-to-date about them and their families.

 

Nancy’s quick wit and subtle humor helped keep the whole team upbeat. And it was Nancy who fixed any issue that arose, whether it was a missing limo, lost luggage, a volcano disrupting travel plans, or an injured Forum attendee requiring medical care. She was the unruffled problem-solver.

 

Rose is deeply grateful to Nancy commenting: ”Nancy is clever, witty, loyal, trustworthy, and her attention to detail is extraordinary. She has class, and is smart and shrewd. It is a joy to have gotten to know her and work with her - she kept me on my toes and taught me a lot - not just about work, but life.  I’m so glad she is one of my dearest friends.”

 

SPF wishes Nancy all the best in her retirement.
