"Serena is focused and quickly sees the pathway to solutions. Her ability to see through the trivial and get to the outcome quickly is outstanding. "
Steven Brink, Vice President – Public Resources, California Forestry Association, Sacramento, California
"Working with Serena Carlson is to see utter efficiency in action. She is competent, outgoing, energetic, and driven. I have yet to witness a task that she couldn’t take; this woman dives right in! Serena is very talented and task-oriented; incredible at networking, understanding policy, and communicating effectively."
Kate Wilson, Program Coordinator, Pend Oreille Basin Commission, Sandpoint, Idaho
"I have two observations to share about Serena. The first is that she seemed to interact effortlessly with people from the floor room to the board room in her role with the Intermountain Forest Association. I think she was able to identify with and communicate effectively with both foresters and executives alike. The second is that she seemed genuinely passionate about her job. It’s too bad that more people don’t truly like what they do as much as she seemed to."
Brent Stinnett, Vice-President, Resource Management, Potlatch Corporation, Spokane, Washington
