Kathy Rolls Into Retirement
If you have ever had the opportunity to work with Kathy Swinford from SVRA, you know that it is a TRUE PLEASURE!!!
Kathy is the super organized, extra energized and amazingly efficient kingpin behind SVRA registration!!
Our friend Kathy has decided the time has come for retirement. Pictured with her husband (who has retired recently himself) and grandson from a few years ago, Kathy has relocated to Ohio (from Texas) for her and her husband to be near the grand babies and the time has come to relax and enjoy!
She will be greatly missed!
Kathy will remain with SVRA through the end of July and we wish the very best to her and her family for the future!
