After graduating with a B.A. in Marketing from the University of Alaska Anchorage, John’s passion for community development work was sparked while working as an intern at the local non-profit soup kitchen, Bean’s Café. Since then, John has held multiple non-profit management positions and able to capitalize on his knack for project management and cultivating relationships. Most recently, John served as the Membership Director for Anchorage Downtown Partnership – a non-profit business association with the mission of assuring downtown Anchorage is clean, safe, and vibrant. In this position, he excelled at membership growth, retention, and engagement.
John is thrilled to be a member of the Kendall team and looking forward to strengthening Alaskan communities through Kendall Cares initiatives. When not coordinating Kendall community events and meeting with charitable organizations, John can be found looking for his ball at a local golf course or in the kitchen working on a tasty new recipe.
Megan Cornett, Community Relations Specialist – Bend
Before Megan joined the Kendall team, she held a digital marketing internship for a Sports Management Company in Portland, Oregon. After sitting behind a computer making content, digital advertisements, and beyond, she decided she wanted to find a position that allowed her to work with her employees, customers, and community directly. Although she would’ve never thought she would be working in the automotive industry, she was surprised by how quickly she fell in love with its fast-paced nature and competitive atmosphere. Megan is excited to represent Kendall Auto Group in the community and make an impact on the organizations, customers, and employees she gets to work with daily. Megan is looking forward to learning and growing in this position, with goals of being part of the Kendall community for years and years to come.
Away from caring for the community, you can find Megan with her friends, boyfriend, or family exploring Central Oregon or at the best food spots in Bend. Due to her inability to sit still, she is always doing things at full speed with a smile on her face. Make sure to say hello to Megan when you see her out in the community, she will be thrilled to meet you and share the Kendall story.
