Shannon Bystock is a Corporate Event Strategist at Rhode Events. Colleagues describe them as "Shannon and I worked on the PTC Global Academic Team to help bring world-class solutions and managing programs such as FIRST (www.usfirst.org), to a new generation of students. Shannon is an extremely committed and trustworthy person both professionally and personally. I have got to know Shannon over the last six years and know she is a stand up person that talks straight and works hard without ever letting office politics interfere. She would often come in early, leave late and work on weekends without ever complaining. Shannon has great strategic vision, is extremely organized and always follows through. She is a smart, talented, and kind co-worker and friend, and a joy to collaborate with. I truly miss her in our group! "
