CCA Global Partners is excited to be featuring another one of our great leaders this August, Vice President, Buying, Andrea Lauer Mummau! When Andrea started at CCA 24 years ago, she was drawn to its future possibilities, whatever they may be. Since then, she's spent six years with the ProSource division & the last eighteen years in Corporate Buying. Andrea agrees with many of her colleagues that CCA is "all about people," and enjoys seeing her team excel & move up in the company, while getting to know our members, their families, and their lives. Similarly, Andrea reflects on one of the most important things she's learned over the past five years, stating, "Nothing happens without people." Aside from her notable work with CCA's buying team, Andrea joined CCA's Office Emergency Response Team in St. Louis, MO, and felt compelled to take an additional EMT class at night, did work in hospitals, & completed ambulance ride alongs to pass the state and national tests. Andrea also loves to travel, paint, and restore furniture, sorting through thrift shops for that perfect piece! Through her passion for restoration, she has redesigned & remodeled several homes.

CCA Global Partners is recognizing one of our invaluable CCA University colleagues, eLearning Project Specialist, Briana Beauchesne! 👏🏼 Briana has been with CCA for 12 years and believes in asking questions & taking creative risks. "You may land on an idea or concept that is a game-changer, or maybe it's not. You'll learn a lot either way while being supported to keep thinking of new ways to innovate," says Briana. Briana reveals that the support she receives from her team & supervisor to try new things is what makes work at CCA so enjoyable. "I have the autonomy to make decisions, and I know I have resources to work with & bounce ideas off when I need to. Plus, let's be honest - being able to bring my dog to work is pretty cool." She also shares her favorite quote from the one & only Dolly Parton, "Find out who you are, and do it on purpose." A fun fact about Briana? She loves to run with her dog & is currently training for the Berlin Marathon with his help.

This July, we're recognizing our wonderful Senior Software Development Architect, Patrick Werner! In his role, Patrick and his team are often performing deployments, testing, & performance optimizations during our retail store downtimes, which is usually around 10 PM CST! In October, Patrick will be celebrating his 20th Anniversary with CCA Global Partners, which he lends in part to CCA's culture. "Every month you see anniversaries of 5 years, 10 years, 30 years, etc. That isn't common," says Patrick. He extends guidance to new employees, encouraging them that, "Your voice matters. The leadership group at CCA has fostered this notion my whole tenure at CCA. If you see an issue, or have an idea on how to do something, or how to do something better, bring it up. It might not always be something that's adopted, or adopted immediately, but it will most certainly not fall on deaf ears." Patrick recently retired from ice hockey and instead has developed a love for hiking & photography.
