Welcome & Congrats! Tammy Angel, HR Manager. Tammy Angel joined Crest Foods in April as our new Hu- man Resources Manager! From Tammy: It was inevitable for me, once I interviewed I knew that Crest Foods was going to be my new home. Crest is a rare gem, there aren’t many companies that treat employees as their greatest asset. This is the culture that I had been searching for! I’m excited to share my experience (20+ years), knowledge and my passion for employee engagement. There is often a general stigma of Hu- man Resources being a place of fear – I’m looking forward to breaking down any barriers and building relationships with all of you. Outside of work I love to travel, enjoy creating new recipes and being enter- tained by my two fur babies, Marvin & Saki. Welcome, Tammy! We are so happy to have you here as a part of the team! Rod Burnette, Production Manager . Rod Burnette has been hired to take over the Pro- duction Manager role in the Contract Packaging Division with the retirement of Sue Os- borne this August. Rod grew up in Rochelle, earned a degree in Manufacturing Technology from NIU, and brings over 30 years of Manuracturing experience to Crest Foods. He lives in rural Ashton with his wife Lynn (Payroll), and has 2 children (Logan & Lucas). Outside of work he’s been playing music with our co-worker Dave Bushman (Scheduling) in the acoustic band Burn N’ Bush. He also enjoys spending time on his garden and deer hunting in the fall.
