“Equality means more than passing laws. The struggle is really won in the hearts and minds of the community, where it really counts.” – Barbara Gittings

Townsend has always stood for togetherness and each year, Pride Month provides dedicated time for us to put specific focus on how we include, how we support, and how we make ourselves visible to those who are so often pushed to the outsides and marginalized.

Pride is visibility, pride is community, pride is resilience. Our celebration of the rainbow is a simple but meaningful action, to show we are here visibly in community.

Our 4th and final milestone anniversary of May belongs to Sherry Cocker for 30 years!!! Sherry is the 1st of 3 partners celebrating their 30th in 2025!!! Starting on our Accounting team, shifting to Customer Service, acting in Sales and Marketing, Sherry does it all.  She participates in new product and color launches, customer and business strategy, designs, sets up, and attends all of our aviation tradeshows, in addition to handling and attending to day to day interactions and needs from some of our largest customers! 
 
Sherry is known for her big heart ❤️ , hearty laugh 😂, zest for fun 🤩, vacationing 🏖️ and travelling, as much as she is for her legendary dedication, commitment, and hard work for our team and customers.  She was one of the first to win our Ownership award and last year won 🥇 our Initiative award.  Those two awards speak to her approach over her 30 years, she has always gone above what anyone expected, persistence over resistance, and being up for any challenge.  She is the only one to be first to the office each morning while also being the first to go anywhere needed for a customer with no notice. 
 
Sherry has always been an amazing partner, being super personable, hard working, outgoing, caring and attentive to all of us.  Spending her Friday evening with a customer and his family as well as co- workers feels like spending it with family and friends!  She goes out of her way during the Holidays to spearhead gift raising donations for children locally that would have a less cheerful holiday otherwise.  She is always up for all theme days, Halloween, and any social events we put together.  Growing up in the company, she married, and saw both her children join the company for Summer work when not at College.  Sherry has supported Townsend and its customers through so many changes in people, technology, and ways of working – she has been one of those constants for Townsend that make us so lucky 🍀, appreciative, happy 😃, and proud 🥹. Congrats on 30 Sherry!! Thank you for all you do and are!!

Happy 25th anniversary to one of our 3rd generation leaders and owners at Townsend, Tricia Martin!!!! 

We loved an article last month that speaks to 11 traits of someone who radiates good energy 🌟, as it seemed to us as it was written about Tricia. The 11 traits - Being Openminded, Supportive, Empathic, Confident, Authentic, Kind, Having Gratitude, realistic optimism, and a sense of humor, keeping her cool, and living in the moment are all just so evident in her aura and leadership. 

As a business matures and adapts ways of working, it can feel like it just has always been the way, but over Tricia’s 25 years she instilled the style of customer service, the systems and processes that make us more effective and efficient, exuded our values, modeled the equal amounts of fun and get 💩 done ways of working that seem so commonplace today at Townsend. 

It is important to her to know all of us, what is happening in the company and our lives.  Her work on strategy, decision-making, how to help customers, issues from HR across the company, to knowing all our products, and customers, this is a woman who operates with no ego and simply by her own brand of Integrity. 

We consider her the center of the company, we love 💗 the consistency, the grace, patience, and right amount of spice that she brings to this winning workplace culture!! Thank you 🙏🏻 Tricia for all of your dedication, commitment, and passion ❣️ for all of Townsend’s partners and success!!

The last week of May brings a trifecta of milestone anniversaries, all from our customer service team, and beginning with the energetic 🌟, endearing 🥰, and earnest 😌 Elsa Buseck  for 15 years 🥳🤩👏🏻!

Elsa has brought equal parts fierce work ethic 💪🏻 and fun 🤩 over her years to the Sample Department, Reception, and Customer Service!  Today, she brings it to all 3 on a daily basis as she is indispensable as the backbone for the Stitch (Townsend HQ building) in backing up our customer service team and taking lead in reception and customer service herself!  Her influence and impact on all in our office was evident on our annual survey where she earned votes for Partner of the Year, Caring, Jane Cool 😎, Selflessness, Teamwork, Leadership, and Ownership!  Thank you for all you do and bring to our team Elsa!!
