Spotlight:
Laurie Stinson

Long-time State Net employee, Laurie Stinson was recently appointed President and Chief Operating Officer. Laurie is the second President in more than 40 years succeeding Jud Clark who founded the company.

Laurie began her career at age 18 as a messenger responsible for getting bill information from the Capitol to State Net's offices and clients in the fastest manner possible: by bicycle. While Internet speed has eclipsed pedaling, providing fast and accurate information has remained her goal. Laurie has worked in virtually every area of the business but focused for the last 10 years on client service and developing new service features.

You'll find this new feature listed as a set-up option on Search by Topic and on Status Report.
