Meet New USPB Executive Assistant and HR Carrie Brown

The United States Potato Board’s Executive Assistant and Human Resources Carrie Brown began in her role in May. Brown shares more details on her role.
Brown: “My job here is to be the primary right hand to the CEO, Blair Richardson. Helping him with all of his arrangements and meetings; taking minutes for the Executive Committee meetings; coordinating all of that group and part of the executive team here at the Board; gathering information from all the other senior leadership team members on a weekly basis; coordinating everybody’s travel. And then also the HR side of it for pretty much the entire staff here: handling all of their benefits, any payroll questions, new hires, on boarding — kinda of the whole gamut of things on the HR side of things.”
Brown says that one of the best parts of her job is her interaction with potato growers and other members of the potato industry.|
Brown: “That’s been the best part so far. Getting to met them. Engaging in conversation with them. Learning more about what they do - -what their specialty is. What their day to day life is out there. Knowing that they’re the ones putting the food on our tables. Being able to see that in action has been really, really something that I wasn’t expecting as much of but it has been amazing experience to get to be a part of.”
