Christine Kines (#2161) of Vector Recruiting in Apex, NC, USA, nominated Kay Durkin (NPA #1505) of Phoenix Partners, Inc. in Ardmore, PA, USA, in the Coaching & Mentoring category.

Christine said: "I met Kay when I joined NPA a little over a year ago. When I joined Kay generously agreed to be my peer coach. What a difference that made! Kay was instrumental in helping me make connections and ensuring I had all the resources I needed. I am especially grateful for the effort Kay made in reaching out to her extensive network and providing introductions. This made a big difference since I attended the NPA annual conference just a few weeks after joining. Those introductions really made the conference experience special."
 
"Kay’s enthusiasm and caring about other members combined with her extensive industry and NPA knowledge made her an excellent peer coach," Christine said. "I have thoroughly enjoyed our conversations, am grateful for all her help and wish her all the best as she retires. Kay - you’re the best!"
 
Thank you, Kay, for going above and beyond to share your knowledge and insights with your fellow NPA partners. Happy retirement!!
