An Impactful Journey<\/strong> 
In 2000, Bev learned about an open position at Crossland through a friend while working at Jasper Foods. She vividly recalls being extremely nervous during the interview with Ivan, fortunately for us, she was hired. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From her early days in Human Resources to her most recent role as Benefits Director, Bev played a pivotal role in shaping the company’s approach to employee well-being. When asked about her favorite part of the job, she said, \u201cIt\u2019s been a privilege to work for the Crossland family and witness the company’s success. I\u2019ve met some amazing people, and I\u2019ve been able to not only watch them grow into leaders but watch their families grow as well. It\u2019s been a blessing.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n

Bev expressed deep gratitude for the experiences and relationships at Crossland and appreciates the mentorship of leaders like Jill Brennan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
