Cindee Sapoznik is unique, setting the pace years ago as a
“ground-breaking” representative within the pharmaceutical industry,
becoming one of the first women in this field of endeavors. Setting
this precedence was not by accident, rather, it was a cavalcade of proactive
actions positioning her as a benchmark for whom her firm and the industry
measured all others. Whether in product sales or as a leader within the
nonprofit and humanitarian segments, her mission and goal is to make a
difference. While others speak of similar goals, her commitment to raise
the awareness of and provide resources and support for countless
individuals victimized by human exploitation and human trafficking is
marquee.
After an incredible career lasting more than 30 years with
Novartis Pharmaceuticals, she retired in 2007 and turned much of her time
to volunteering, which soon became a venture and a passion. Her volunteer
experiences included: The Drake House, Every Woman Works, Wellspring
Living, North Fulton Community Charity; Roswell United Methodist Church’s
Job Networking Ministry, City of Refuge, along with local high schools.
She became a partner in a boutique outplacement services firm, whose
first project with the largest home healthcare provider in the nation. Cindee
received her Life Coach Certification from Life Purpose Institute in
2013. As a life coach, she has an enduring passion for helping create a
forward path for others. Additionally, she possesses a bachelor’s degree
(BS) in Education from Emerson College, with a minor in Psychology.
Due to Ms. Cindee
Sapoznik’s ability to apply inherent business strategies including the development of
strategic relationships, and an ability to assemble a leadership team
comprised of talented professionals and volunteers, she has
successfully designed and launched an exceptional nonprofit, 2myPlace.
The scope and reach of the mission of 2myPlace has grown
exponentially in the last few years because of their focus on one’s
individual strengths, self-esteem, and a clear path for the future, a
message that remains a beacon under which Cindee guides others.
Cindee’s dedication to her creating immediate relationships with teenagers originates
from the quote “be the person you needed most when you were growing up”,
a quote referencing the need for
and ability to change, a part of the healing process especially where there was
hopelessness. Her focus on sex trafficking addresses measures of
preparedness, prevention, and protection, working with teenagers to
educate them and keep them safe. Based upon a vision to
impact students, families, and organizations, more than 3,200
teens and young adults have taken our 2myPlace life skill
classes/workshops. Her passion for addressing the challenges and
perils that individuals face, the organization continues to expand its
resources offering virtual training, group workshops, speaker panels,
individual and family coaching, and the ability for those in need of support
to connect for individualized and customized programs. Cindee continues her
quest to educate, reduce effects and prevent sex trafficking, now as a
member of Member of the Rotary Club.
In her spare time, Ms. Sapoznik sings in a Broadway Chorus and
visits Assisted Living and Memory Care Centers. She finds her joy and
peace a gift that must be shared with others…the mantra of a true service
leader!
