Corine (Renie) Mahon, Project Manager
Corine “Renie” Mahon will be retiring at the end of July. For the past 15 years, she has been a vital member of our firm— providing unwavering administrative support coupled with common sense. Corine has worked with Katherine for nearly 20 years, so this farewell is bittersweet.
But it’s time for her to enjoy all the Pacific Northwest offers. I owe much of my success to her steadfast concern for our clients, projects, and team members.
Good luck with your new adventures!
