EPCOR News You Can Use Newsletter

Shirley didn’t start out nesting in the payments world. She explained, “Straight out of college, I worked for Macy’s in the buying department of what are now nearly obsolete items: calculators, 35 mm cameras and electric typewriters. I then worked in the health club industry and later at Russell Stover Candies as a buyer before I came to MPX, now EPCOR.”
Currently, Shirley serves as EPCOR’s Director, Conferences & Events. She has been flying with us for a long, long time and recently accepted an award for over 20 years of service! When asked what she really does for EPCOR Shirley shared, “Besides plan and execute a variety of meetings and events while managing the budgets, I also find time to spread humor and laughter to my colleagues. It’s a tough room to work but someone’s gotta do it.” She’s a real HOOT!
EPCOR members are one of Shirley’s favorite aspects of the job! She is also a wise owl and really enjoys the numbers she’s in charge of such as budgets, goals, etc.
Currently, Shirley is the mom of one dog and 3 or 4 cats, depending on the day. She reflected, “Cats are very good at finding and adopting me, as it turns out.”
Outside of work, Shirley enjoys spending time with her sisters, nieces & nephews, and now their children. Shirley shared, “I also can operate home improvement tools (sawzall, circular saw or chainsaw anyone?) and tackle small home improvement projects. I guess this means I like to cut things up!”
