After 4 plus years, front desk receptionist and brands clerk, Kelli Pozzobon is leaving OII to pursue her own home-based business.


Kelli’s bubbly personality and attention to detail will certainly be missed around the office. Although Kelli is anxious to get her business going, she has agreed to remain on until early April in order to assist with orientation of the new staff.


"The departure of Kelli has prompted us to go back to having two part time girls, as was the practice prior to July 2008" say’s manager Bob Miller.


Joining the OII staff immediately in job sharing part time roles are Alana Groeneveld and Cathy Stewart.


Alana brings professional knowledge and experience in customer service, finances, inventory control and public relations, combined with an abundance of livestock history as she has previous employment with the Canadian Simmental Association and Alta Genetics Inc.


Cathy brings a friendly personality combined with much computer and accounting background, as she currently provides bookkeeping and payroll duties for her husbands excavating business. She also serves as secretary / treasurer for the Kamloops Little Britches Rodeo Association as well as for the BC High School Rodeo Association.


Office manager, Jan Canart and General Manager Bob Miller wish to thank Kelli for her loyalty and dedicated service and extent her the best of success, while at the same time welcome Alana and Cathy to their staff.
