Growing up in a military family, Chris has always
had a knack for order and organization. And
her many years of canine agility teaching and
competitions have taught her perseverance and
patience. All of which are important skills for her
role as Legato’s Executive Assistant.
Chris Suelflohn
Office Manager
With over 25 years of administrative and office
management experience, Chris is a crucial factor
in the everyday running of Legato. While her
main responsibility is supporting the president—
scheduling meetings, prepping presentation
materials or coordinating correspondence—
she also handles most of the overall office
administrative functions. She works with office
vendors, keeps everything (and everyone)
organized and helps prepare proposals and
contracts.
Chris also has a hand in the financial side of the
agency. She is responsible for pulling financial and
productivity reports as well as preparing invoices
and making sure they are paid on time.
Prior to Legato, Chris spent 10 years as the
office manager at a Green Bay transportation
company where she handled accounts receivable
and accounts payable, payroll, insurance, DOT
compliance, dispatch, customer service and
much more.
Outside of work, Chris’ life mainly revolves around
her five rescue shelties, four of which started
as foster only situations (hence the “foster
home failure”). She’s a current member of the
Packerland Kennel Club and regularly participates
in agility competitions throughout the area. In
fact, one of her shelties, Johnny, received the title
Master Agility Champion or MACH in September
2013. This means Chris took Johnny through
four levels of agility competitions and achieved
20 Double Qs—20 perfect days of running
two runs per day with no faults—among other
qualifications.
She also enjoys spending time with her husband,
John—when it’s not deer hunting season— and her
family at their cabin in Northern Wisconsin.
