Kim, thank you for another wonderful year on the charity softball game. For 11 years, the event’s success is a true reflection of
your hard work. Your support and leadership is an integral part of my on-going work in the community.
~~ Jeff Fisher, NFL Head Coach
Kim, you have done such great job in Nashville and with the music community building this event and making it a citywide
event! This event has become an awesome way to showcase country acts and to get them national attention. With your
guidance the agents and managers know their artists will be presented very well and have a great experience!!! Thanks again
for letting myself and CAA be a part of this in 2011.
~~ Rod Essig, CAA Nashville, regarding the Country Music Marathon’s post race concert.
Kim, thank you for your assistance to the Pigman Family following the tragic loss of Sergeant Benjamin “Levi” Pigman following
the 2009 Country Music Marathon in Nashville. Your steadfast stance to protect the Pigman family’s privacy from interested
and persistent media members in the hours following his death went above and beyond the scope of your duties as the event
public relations representative. With equal determination, your voluntary assistance helped this unit in honoring Levi’s memory
with the official release of the information through your vast media contacts at the appropriate time. Your concern and support
are a thru reflection on your values and professionalism.
~~ Thomas, R. Drew, LTC, 2nd Battalion, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment.
