Chasse Ends Year on Charitable Note
Chasse makes sizable donation to Manos de Cristo
Austin, TX, Dec. 15, 2010 – Beverly Chasse, president and CEO of Chasse Consulting Sales Strategies Inc., furthered her company’s dedication to community service recently by making a sizable donation to Austin-local Manos de Cristo at the non-profit’s Lovin’ Austin Celebration held at Mercury Hall in November.

The event honors the accomplishments of Manos’ 2010 corp of volunteers, which included Chasse. This past year the group totaled more than 6,700 hours of community service. During the event, Chasse pledged a hefty contribution to help fund the organization’s up and coming initiative to purchase new space that will house its food pantry and clothes closet.
Chasse has steadily supported Manos de Cristo over the last three years, and more recently she has served on its board of directors. The non-profit serves the central Texas area by providing a safe place for the homeless and working poor of Austin to come for emergency food and clothing, oral health care and education.
Chasse partners with DiscoverHope to inspire change again
Chasse Consulting’s philanthropic efforts continued when the company offered a lofty contribution to Austin-local DiscoverHope at its Holiday of Hope charity event held in December.

The monetary gift will help the non-profit continue its mission to its dual approach to poverty alleviation – microloans and training. By providing access to credit and developing entrepreneurial training, loan recipients are equipped with the tools to run their own businesses and be financially self-sufficient.
Chasse Consulting has donated to DiscoverHope in the past. In October 2010, Chasse provided a monetary contribution to the organization at its charity party held in Austin.
Community service is a staple of the Chasse Consulting company philosophy. In fact, employees are encouraged annually to dedicate 10 percent of their skill or resources to a charitable event of their choosing, a company practice since 2002.
“At the end of the day, staying true to our mission, that mission of offering your time and your talents to those in need, is very important,” said CEO Beverly Chasse. “And to me, helping those who are impoverished, both locally and internationally, is not just a choice, but something we do.”

Chasse Takes Expertise, Leadership Abroad
Austin, TX, Oct. 13, 2010 – Foregoing the latter half of Austin’s wet and muggy September, Beverly Chasse, president and CEO of Chasse Consulting Sales Strategies Inc., spent two weeks volunteering her expertise and skill in the picturesque Eastern European nation of Kazakhstan, instructing university students on American business skills, management and ethics.
“The students had such a strong thirst for knowledge, said Chasse. “Especially when it came to learning about ethical business standards in Kazakhstan and how it differed from the rest of the world.”
Working in conjunction with Co-Serve International, a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching and sharing about servant leadership at places of learning around the world, Chasse used her 25 years of experience in the business consulting field to teach a variety of business courses to students at Kazakh-American Free University (KAFU) in Ust-Kamenogorsk, Kazakhstan.
The course curriculum was developed by Chasse Consulting: Sales Strategies Inc. and covered such topics as the basics of managing a business, an overview of managing employees, principles of leadership and the importance of corporate social responsibility and business ethics in today’s economic climate. Chasse led graduate and undergraduate classes all while being immersed in Kazakhstan’s rich Russian and Islamic infused culture.
“The country still holds cultural ties with its old-world Soviet history,” recalled Chasse. “This made for one of the most unique experiences I have ever encountered in all my travels.”
Chasse’s trip comes a little over two months after her company hosted two student interns from Kazakhstan, who spent three weeks with Chasse Consulting, learning the basics of American business and experiencing Austin flair.

Helping Hands: Chasse preps kids for back-to-school
AUSTIN, TX, August 9, 2010 — Employees of Austin-based business consultancy Chasse Consulting Sales Strategies Inc. were on hand Monday to volunteer at the annual Manos de Cristo Back-to-School Program.
The event allows more than 2,000 pre-kindergarten to fifth grade students and their parents to visit with Manos volunteers to choose school supplies, backpacks and clothing for the upcoming school year. Chasse employees offered their time as part of the company’s annual charity initiative.
“It’s an experience I am wonderfully grateful for,” Chasse technical writer Sheryl Floyd said. “In many ways I think, as employees, we gained more satisfaction than the kids did, simply because not only did we send them off with supplies but with smiles too, and, hopefully, excitement for the new year.”
Community service is a guiding principle of the Chasse company mission. Employees are encouraged annually to dedicate 10 percent of their skill or resources to a charitable event of their choosing, a company practice since 2002. President and CEO Beverly Chasse, a current member of Manos de Cristos board of directors, is also heavily involved in community service, including work with the West Hills Presbyterian Church and various national and international philanthropic organizations like World Vision, Charity: Water and St. Jude Children’s Hospital. She also recently spent two weeks in Zambia, Africa where she met with locals to discuss the need for education around AIDS and the need to address key issues such as the lack of food and a sanitary water supply.
“Manos de Cristo provides critical programs to our Austin impoverished. To give back to this community of wonderful people is simply the right thing to do, “ Chasse said. “As an organization, the Chasse Consulting team thrives on working with Manos de Cristo. It is a blessing that we have the means help, and I hope that more people discover this wonderful charity.”

Beverly Chasse Named 2010 ‘Woman of Influence’
The Austin Business Journal's Profiles in Power & Women of Influence Awards Luncheon was held Friday July 23, 2010 at the Westin Austin Hotel
AUSTIN, TX, July 23, 2010 – President and CEO of Chasse Consulting: Sales Strategies, Inc., Beverly Chasse, was named one of the 25 Central Texas Women of Influence by the Austin Business Journal at its 16th annual “Profiles in Power & Women of Influence” luncheon awards ceremony, held at the Westin Austin Hotel in the Domain.
Among the audience of 500 Austin business professionals were many Chasse associates who came in full support of their winner. “Working with Beverly has always been a privilege and great learning experience. She’s an amazing leader with a big heart, and I can’t think of anyone who deserves this award more,” said Mamie Woods, vice-president of product development as well as Chasse’s nominator and dear friend. “The truth is, Beverly has always been a woman of influence to us, and it’s nice to see her recognized for it.”
Chasse was selected for the award from over 70 nominees, and it comes in full recognition of her ability to blaze her own path, forge commendable leadership principles and serve as an influential model for future women leaders.
And for good reason – in addition to her charitable efforts here in Austin, which includes board memberships for the two charitable organizations Manos de Cristo and EMPACT Africa, and her involvement with the West Hills Presbyterian Church, Chasse also supports national and international philanthropic initiatives including World Vision, Charity: Water and St. Jude Children’s Hospital.

Chasse’s commitment to others does not stop there, as she continues it by empowering her employees. Year in and year out, she asks them to dedicate 10 percent of their time, skill or resources to a charitable event of their choosing. This humbling and rewarding experience has been happily carried out since the company’s founding in 2002.
