Kathleen Maier (nicknamed Kathie) generously opened her Port Royal home for our House & Garden Tour 2013 during which time she became interested in membership in NGC.  Raynelle Perkins is her sponsor.  June to September, Kathie lives in Canton, OH where she says she is semi-retired.  She is a graduate of Portland State University in Portland, OR and has taken numerous seminars on Sales and Marketing.  She was founder and owner of Kipp Industrial Steel Sales from 1978-2000. Kathie was owner and Sr. VP of Michigan Seamless Tube in South Lyon, MI from 2002-2008.  She serves on the Board of Directors of Bridgewell Resources, Portland, OR and currently is an Operating Partner with Atlas Holdings, Greenwich, CT.  Kathie belongs to the Naples Yacht Club, Cutlass Cove Beach Club and is on the Board of Directors of the Port Royal Club.  This is a very busy lady.

Did you know . . . after having spent her career in the steel business making wrought/rolled products, looks forward to meeting women friends.  She wants to know how to save her landscaping from the “Mad Hedge Clipper” who only knows straight lines!  Originally from Portland, Oregon, Kathleen wants to learn what will grow and thrive in Naples.  Plants and learning to play bridge are her new priorities.  Enjoy your well earned retirement Kathleen.
