William Coleman, Town Manager, hired Leda as a marketing specialist in 2006
“Leda was a rising leader and a go-to person within the Town of Cary while we were both employed
there. Her ability to combine marketing prowess with technological innovations allowed the Town to
both provide information to and gain feedback from their citizenry. These types of projects are not
always performed in government, and the fact that they were executed so well in the Town shows that
Leda not only shows a strong attention to detail, but that she also understands the importance of a
government connected closely with its citizens. When Leda needed assistance from Cary's
Technology Services Department, she had always performed due diligence and understood exactly
what assistance was needed. That type of well informed approach speeds both parties towards a
successful resolution of the question at hand and was much appreciated by her peers.” December 6,
