This month I would love to take the opportunity to share some exciting news from TPN. Last month I reflected on the way the industry is transforming and how we are in a period where the veterans and the newcomers are both bringing their perspectives to the table. In the spirit of transformation and growth, TPN has invited two new team members onboard- Kim DeKold and Tory Benner.  

 

Kim DeKold brings a calm presence to our team. She has a strong background that includes teaching college level courses, homeschooling her own children and efficiency in data analysis. She supports our Data Analysis team and is learning the details required to perform parking operational and financial reviews. In her short time in parking she has attended IPMI seminars, interacted with parking operators for various projects and learned some of the hard details that make parking unique. Kim is a life-long learner and continues to learn and grow in both her personal and professional life. We are thrilled to have her as an inquisitive, analytical thought leader on our team.  

 

Tory Benner brings a positive presence to our team. She has a heart for service and works hard to produce high quality products. Tory has a history in Speech Language Pathology and even in professional photography. She has been assisting in our Digital Marketing, Podcast Production and Data Analysis teams. She has taken on a variety of new learning opportunities and her contribution to the team has been unmatched. Tory brings an air of creativity and her perspectives are a refreshing welcome to our team.  

 

In a historically male dominated industry we are excited to welcome these two ladies into the parking realm. Clyde has been a mentor that has celebrated and collaborated with women in the parking industry. He has been a champion for me personally and my growth in knowledge and parking expertise. He has taken the time to share his perspective and continually guide our team of women as we grow. I am so excited that our new team members, Kim and Tory, will get to experience his mentorship here at TPN. With TPN’s veteran wisdom and their new ideas I can only begin to anticipate what the future holds.
