“Commitment” is a perfect word to help define Loraine Flandreau whether speaking of her 25-year marriage to Ted or of her dedication to her children Teddy, 21, and Grace, 16. Her commitment to her position and the people of Meyer Jabara is role model quality…never forgetting a birthday or anniversary ….never shying away from a difficult conversation. She doesn’t need the title of “manager” to “coach”, just a good set of ears and an open mind. The Journey Culture of the company supports Loraine’s personal beliefs and how she chooses to run her own life. “When I recognize a situation in my own life and apply it to The Journey, I am better able to work through it. Looking at it in a Journey way makes it more colorful and achievable and it gives me direction.”
Many teammates think “The Journey” and “Loraine” are synonyms. She brings The Journey to life in all she does and serves as a lighthouse of stability for a rapidly learning and growing team.
To know people who stand with Loraine is to know people who feel truly blessed to have her in their lives, whether they just met her or have stood beside her for twenty-five years. “She is the girl you take home to meet your mother,” boasted Ted. “I did. Then I married her. Guys call their wives a ball and chain. Mine is a feather and angel hair.”
Loraine floated into the Revenue Center of Meyer Jabara in 2001 and has set up housekeeping as the Journey champion, best friend and counselor.
