Ellie, Cassie, Laura and Gena will share their journeys in an often male -dominated corporate world and from their stories you will discover how they have learned not only to survive but to thrive and be both successful and effective.

From there she worked her way to Office Manager to Administrative VP to Vice President of J&S Oil Company. Cassie is excited to say the family has been blessed with an employee-owned-family-oriented business where we all take pride in an ownership culture of service.
In addition to raising 3 kids, Dustin, Dan and Shelly, Cassie spent many hours coaching baseball, softball and ice hockey as her children grew up in the Manchester community.
