Heather Kotula, a long-time employee of Access Innovations, Inc., has recently been promoted to the position of DHUG (Data Harmony Users Group) Meeting and Marketing Coordinator. Heather is one of many faces of fresh, young talent at Access Innovations, and her promotion can only mean good things for the company.
Ms. Kotula started with Access Innovations in 1995, and has since filled many positions within the company and seen it grow over many years. She has worked in finance, as a project manager, office manager, and Vice President of Operations. Her versatility in her early years at Access Innovations gave her a strong background and knowledge of the company, and these have translated into new marketing ideas and skills that will propel the company forward.
Ms. Kotula has coordinated the past three DHUG meetings, and her new position within the company puts her at the forefront of new ideas for the annual DHUG gatherings.
