Rebecca Ward Email and Phone Number

I served as the main point of contact for Klepper Law's CSA department. Other areas of responsibility included contacting court officials, local and state law enforcement officers, and FMCSA and USDOT officials at various levels nationwide to resolve traffic violations for CDL holders. During my time in this position, my department saw a rise in favorable outcomes for our clients. I ensured that the law office supervision was regularly updated regarding the CSA department's status. Other areas of responsibility included representing the office in various national correspondence campaigns and community outreach. Being knowledgeable of changes in legislation, safety regulations, practices, and procedures was a requirement as I had to ensure proper communication was maintained between our office and clients regarding their cases. To better communicate with clients, I was expected to have a knowledge of business and industry practices, sources of supply, cost factors, and the requirements to operate within the United States as outlined in the USDOT regulations. Being able to describe information in simple, clear language was key to ensure the CDL holder's understanding and having the ability to also use the specialized vocabulary of the commercial trucking industry was expected.

I was appointed to be the editor of the Stars for Oklahoma publication. My duty is to ensure that the bi-monthly publication has relevant news and upcoming events relating to the Order of the Eastern Star in Oklahoma. Part of my position involves graphic design in order to make eye-catching covers and images for the publication.

I am a Native American artist that does photography and storytelling. This is a project that I do on the side should anyone ask from photos.

In this position, I assisted clients with the purchase of airframes, engines, and propellers in the commercial and private aviation sectors. Ensuring that a clear title for purchased equipment was a vital part of this position as the equipment that our office worked with included imported and exported aircraft as well as equipment which had previously been owned by the US Department of Defense. To guarantee that registrations with both the FAA and the International Registry were submitted correctly and in accordance with regulations set forth by the USDOT and the Cape Town Convention, a knowledge of current regulations, legislation, and industry practices was required. A working knowledge of escrow matters was also required as any mistake could risk the sale of the aircraft and related equipment falling through or being delayed. This could have resulted in a ripple effect with the aircraft manufacturers not being able to deliver the equipment on time as outlined in contracts of sale. Once these contracts of purchase were established, the Bill of Sale, AC Form 8050-2, and any related lease agreements with the FAA were submitted and all relevant registrations were made against the airframe and equipment in the name of the interested party or parties on the International Registry.

This position required an extensive knowledge of a variety of electronics and related accessories. Assisting members of the armed forces, their families, and eligible employees of the Department of Defense with troubleshooting issues arising on their computers and being able to present software or accessories to solve these issues was a key component of this position. In addition, performing an inventory of critical items daily was required and attention to detail with these counts was imperative. The critical inventory report was then submitted for approval to the team of supervisors. Should any discrepancy between opening and closing counts be encountered, a second inventory with the assistance of a supervisor was then performed. If the discrepancy was not resolved, an investigation was conducted with the opening and closing teams involved. E-Com between Tinker Air Force Base and other installations required knowledge of logistics and acquisition of inventory. Familiarity with DOS was expected as certain systems used this programming to run, one of which was the inventory system. Inventory management knowledge was expected as we had to be familiar with the products that were immediately available as well as what could be acquired and the approximate time frame in which it could be received. Through this system, requests to other military installations were submitted and requests to Tinker were received. A high level of integrity was to be expected as this position required the handling of funds and assisting customers with the establishment of lines of credit. A count of received funds at the beginning and end of each shift was to be conducted and the appropriate forms submitted alongside these counts.

I was expected to ensure that contracts established between the company and outside vendors were mutually beneficial to both companies and would offer a better range of products to our clients. Excellent oral and electronic communication was required to ensure a clear understanding between all parties involved and being able to communicate the technical aspects of the industry to vendors and other professionals in the trade as well as being able to communicate details of the product to those not familiar with the industry in a manner they could understand was key. Attendance at international events was an important duty. At these events, seeking out new opportunities to establish contracts with new vendors and renewing or renegotiating existing contracts was critical for the continued success of the business. I was expected to be able to arrange for travel to and from industry events as well as secure lodging. Creating a working calendar for all those employed with the business that was free of conflicts was important as it could lead to a loss of sales. I established and maintained the company’s social media presence. This aspect of the role meant I was expected to have an understanding of the various principles, practices, and operations of the industry in such a way as to be able to describe it in clear and simple language as well as able to utilize the specialized vocabulary of technical publication writing. Compiling data reports to submit to the supervisor regarding the analytics of the social media posts was expected to ensure that the postings were performing well and to make adjustments in any social media campaigns. I also helped establish the current and improved inventory management system and integrated the system into the register allowing for a higher quality of service to be offered to the clients. A high level of integrity was expected as high amounts of capital were exchanged daily between multiple parties in this highly competitive industry.
