June 25, 2008 - Do you have an Olympian training in your company? This one does.

Tim Darnell

June 25, 2008

 
Hopefully, by now, you've been listening - faithfully - to the regular bi-weekly podcasts by Bennett Thrasher, found right here on this Web site.

But here's something that the company's principals and executives haven't talked about.

Haley Chura is an associate at Atlanta's 11th largest CPA firm. She has qualified for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Swimming Trials in the 200-meter backstroke, which will take place in Omaha, Nebraska on July 4.
 
"I couldn't believe how supportive everyone at Bennett Thrasher was of my going to trials," she says. "I have to go and represent Bennett Thrasher."
 
Chura was a college swimmer at the University of Georgia.  Shortly after graduating from UGA in 2007, she joined Bennett Thrasher as a CPA.

Bennett Thrasher is one example of a company that has employees who are hoping to compete in the Olympic games, either this year or in the future. I'd love to learn about more of them. Drop me a line at tdarnell@billian.com, and tell me your story.
