Kim Bedier

Current position: General manager of the Everett Events Center, a 10,000-seat arena in downtown Everett that opened in 2003.

First job: Working as a dishwasher in a Winnipeg hotel restaurant.

Pay: $4.25 an hour (1974)

What I learned: Hard work in a steamy environment is good for your skin! I also learned that each and every person in an organization has a critical role to play. What is a restaurant without clean dishes? Since then I have made it a point to either perform or at least become familiar with every job role under my leadership. Even driving the Zamboni!
