Resume: Sara Rechenbach’s very first job was at a toy store, so it’s sort of fitting that she describes selling as “like a giant game.” Rechenbach graduated in 2011 from Virginia Tech in hospitality and tourism management, and fast-tracked from intern, to account exec to sales manager for the religious meetings market at The National Conference Center. Marketing manager Sarah Vining says colleagues describe Sara’s work ethic as “a dream come true for meeting planners.”
