Board Member Profile
Jennifer Osborne, Communications Director

Jennifer has been with ISES Indiana for more than 5 years and is currently serving on the Board of Directors as the Communication Director. She has worked on the PACE Committee, the Education Committee with the REC and lends a hand in several other opportunities that arise to help out the organization. Being a part of the organization has introduced her to new contacts that she would not have gotten without ISES.

Outside of her ISES involvement, Jennifer works for SYSCO Food Services of Indianapolis, LLC. SYSCO is an International Food Distributor for the Food Service Industry, based in Houston, TX. Jennifer is the Event Coordinator for the Indianapolis Operating Company. At the 450 employee large Operating Company, she creates and directs more than 30 events a year for SYSCO. SYSCO is on the client and the supplier side in relation to ISES. Several of SYSCO's clients are part of ISES and several of the suppliers in the organization help create their events. This is why ISES is so rewarding for Jennifer and SYSCO.

Jennifer's position at SYSCO allows her to work with every aspect of the organization from Sales to Warehouse Operations. As with the rest of us in ISES, Jennifer is never bored! She presents product showcases (food trade shows), company picnics, awards banquets, golf outings, sales meetings and customer visitations. She is always challenging the company to open their eyes to new creative ideas that keep the customer excited about the organization.

Jennifer just graduated a few weeks ago from the University of Indianapolis, with her Masters in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing. That took up any free time that she had, so now she is going to concentrate on a few hobbies she has been missing out on. Right now she hopes that we get dumped on with snow, crazy as you may think! She is a snowboarder that spends weekends and week-long vacations hitting the slopes. She also loves to draw, dance and do any athletic activity to keep her on the move. Her kids are a 5-year-old Doberman (Madeline) and a 2-year-old Rottweiller/Shepherd mix puppy (Cole). She likes to run with the big dogs!
