Congratulations to Cherie Verslues, Accounts Payable Specialist, on being named Socket’s You-Make-The-Difference award winner for March!

As a member of the Accounting team, Cherie’s job is easy to describe – “I basically pay Socket’s bills.” But actually getting that done is another matter! Whether it’s tracking down payments, or making sure everyone has their paperwork filled out on time, Cherie frequently ends up having to hound people – and she manages to do it with charm and kindness.

“Cherie works with great integrity and is always respectful to everyone she communicates with,” said a coworker who nominated her for the award. “It is a pleasure to work with Cherie!”

“She’s so awesome! She does a wonderful job making sure all of our bills get paid and the money gets where it needs to go,” said another coworker.

Originally from Michigan, Cherie has spent much of her adult life in Missouri, and graduated from Columbia College with a degree in Business Administration. In her free time (which she says is limited these days!), she enjoys refinishing and upcycling furniture. But much of her spring and summer days are spent at the ball field, watching her youngest son play baseball for Battle High School.

“I’m happy that I get the opportunity to work with such good people,” said Cherie. “And I’m proud of the work that I do here at Socket.”

Congratulations, Cherie!
