As we all know and experienced first hand, life during the COVID-19 pandemic has been anything but normal. With multiple daily teleconferences, remote meetings, desktop VTC’s and overall disconnection becoming the norm, the ability to build and maintain connections became more important than ever. Luckily for us here at Team TATRC, we have an outstanding team of Office Administrators who stepped up to the challenge and have continued to save the day, every day, keeping our team up and running and ready to tackle the many challenges of life during COVID.

From establishing extra teleconference lines, to getting the entire team set up on MS Teams, to keeping track of numerous calls and complex schedules, and sitting in on meetings and taking notes, to juggling competing events, our Office Admin team did it all, and did it fabulously, and seamlessly without missing a beat. No virus could get in the way of these powerplayers!
