Crossett, president and CEO of CPS Recruitment, also served as the keynote speaker. In her remarks, Crossett shared stories from her career journey as an entrepreneur, board director, corporate executive, advocate, change-management strategist and high-performance motivator, KeyBank said.

CPS Recruitment, a certified women-owned business, operates at 904 7th North St. in the town of Salina.
