Agent Farewell: Nancy Tyree

Special agents (left to right) Nancy Tyree and Amanda Doty.

As many trade in their beach bags for book bags, seasons of life turn from summer to fall for all.

It seems like only yesterday we couldn't wait for summer time. At The Midas Center, we were especially excited for the opportunity to host young talent in our special agent program. Three agents were selected for special missions, if they chose to accept the internship mission. The special agents are Nancy Tyree, Amanda Doty and Justin Shenenberger. This week, we will be sharing a series titled, Agent Farewell to honor each of these special talented young professionals. Today's post will highlight our first intern to join our agency.

Our first special agent, Nancy Tyree started working for The Midas Center last December during her Christmas break from her studies at Indiana University in Bloomington. During her holiday break while staying at home, Nancy accepted the mission filled with research on the history of social media and its impact on modern society. She returned to finish her junior year at IU and shared with us that her internship experience encouraged her to start her own blog once back at school. She then came home for the summer and accepted another mission at The Midas Center: Community Manager of iHEARTplymouth. 

Nancy accepted the mission and bravely stepped out from her comfort zone while interfacing with people making a positive difference throughout the community. She captured stories and photos to share on www.iHEARTplymouth.com. She shared on her summer experience at The Midas Center as a special agent intern, "It gave me the opportunity to talk to business owners that I may have never reached out to." Her favorite interaction she told us was when she covered the new sky diving business in town. Check out her review on this local business, Free Falling Soars in Plymouth  >> 

Other noteworthy highlights of her mission include:

- Playful iSPYplymouth games 

Can you spot some of these photos taken in and around Plymouth? >>

- iHEART on the Spot

Nancy traveled throughout town to share some iHEART swag and interact with businesses. Check out some of the places where she may have been spotted >>

- Meet the people of Plymouth

Another special task of her mission included meeting and greeting special people in the community who are making a difference. Some of the people she highlighted included Jennifer Maddox, Barbara Winters, Mindy and Bill Langdon, and more. Also, she shared stories on a new downtown business owner Lisa Miller, Second Friday fun and Culver Lakefest. 

We encourage you to do a search for Nancy Tyree in the search bar of iHEARTplymouth and share your comments on her stories.

We are proud of Agent Nancy Tyree and we wish her the best as she continues on her professional development as a senior studying telecommunications as well as life's lessons she will experience along the way. 

Thank you agent on another mission accomplished.

Indiana Chamber Recognizes The Midas Center As Finalist in Employer of the Year

Indiana INTERNnet, Inc., a statewide internship resource provided by the Indiana Chamber, has named The Midas Center as a finalist for the Employer of the Year in recognition of its 2010 student internship program. The awards program will take place in Indianapolis on February 10, 2011 at the Indiana Chamber Conference Center beginning at 11:30 a.m. People interested in attending the event may register at www.indianaintern.net or call IndianaINTERNnet, Inc. at 317-264-7536. The Indiana Chamber is the largest business advocacy organization in the state.

The Midas Center’s program caught the Chamber’s attention because of the leadership opportunities it offered in local business development and new technology. Owner Andrea Cook comments, “One of the most rewarding parts of my career has been obtaining projects that provide jobs and empower other creative professionals. Working with younger individuals challenges me to keep learning all the evolving technology solutions.”

Intern Camden Robertson, a 2010 graduate of Plymouth High School, was given an opportunity to learn and practice business development skills with the launch of iHEARTplymouth.com. This social media resource was created to improve the quality of life and economic development for local communities and was rolled out during his summer internship program. "The internship has really proved to be beneficial to me in so many aspects,” said Robertson. “My time management has gotten a lot better. My experience at The Midas Center has not only improved my communication skills with some important customers, but the fact that I have experience in sales and marketing via an Internet platform puts me above many of my coworkers that are my age. I’m grateful for my experience there." Robertson is now a student at DePaul University in Chicago.

The Midas Center is a full-service creative communications agency located in downtown Plymouth that provides professional marketing, advertising, public relations and branding services to businesses and organizations. For information about internships at The Midas Center, please contact Andrea Cook, President, by phone at 574-936-7058 or by e-mail >
