CHASSE CONSULTING: SALES STRATEGIES, INC. EXECUTIVE TO JOIN MANOS DE CRISTO’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS

AUSTIN, TX., January 26, 2009 – Manos de Cristo will be announcing the addition of Beverly Chasse, President/CEO of Chasse Consulting: Sales Strategies Inc., to their Board of Directors this evening at 6:30 p.m. during their board meeting, taking place at 4911 Harmon Avenue, Austin, TX 78751.

Manos de Cristo, meaning “Hands of Christ,” is a non-profit organization devoted to helping those in need in Greater Austin and the surrounding areas. Manos de Cristo provides programs and activities, which help the working poor become self-sufficient and meet their physical and spiritual needs. These programs include a food pantry, dental clinic, clothes closet, and multiple educational programs.

As a board member, Chasse will be partnering with other leaders in the community to further the mission of the organization. Chasse is no stranger to such leadership roles. In 2002, she started her own company, Chasse Consulting: Sales Strategies Inc. With 25 years of leadership experience in field sales, sales management, sales operations, and training, Chasse has helped Fortune 500 companies improve their sales performance.

Although she is devoted to the success of her clients, Chasse commits part of her time and her company’s profit to reaching out to children’s charitable organizations. She has spent hours volunteering for Manos de Cristo, including her most recent task, which was providing school supplies, clothes, and coats for the children of Manos de Cristo. Chasse also works with local villages in Africa so that every child in poverty can get the chance of defying the odds and overcoming life’s challenges.
