After 16 years of service, Margaret Paul is embarking on a well-deserved retirement!

A beloved member of the Compliance and Collection team, Margaret has a deep understanding of the financial realities faced by producers and distributors. Her diligence and her sound judgement earned her the respect and trust of both clients and colleagues. Her thoughtful contributions (usually preceded by her "just asking" about something) not only supported collaboration across the organization, but also played an important role in developing the processes of Dialogue.

Margaret, we will miss your enthusiasm, courage, and contagious laughter. We wish you all the best as you drive off to your next adventure! 🚗💓
