Mary Kay Inc. employee Barbara Podbelsek was honored with the Mary Kay Employee Go Give Award. As Senior Executive Assistant to Mary Kay CEO Ryan Rogers, Podbelsek is known as “a guardian of Mary Kay Ash’s legacy, a steward of the company culture and a driving force behind projects that preserve the heart of the iconic brand.”
Podbelsek is dedicated to the Mary Kay Ash Foundation and plays a key role in curating meaningful collections for the Mary Kay Museum in Addison, Texas as the “culture-keeper.”
The annual Go Give Award was created in 1978 to celebrate and recognize Mary Kay consultants who embody the spirit of Mary Kay Ash’s “Go-Give” philosophy and mindset of selflessness, generosity, encouragement and kindness, especially when there’s no expectation of anything in return.
“This award honors not only the excellence of Barb’s work, but the depth of her character,” Mary Kay Inc. wrote in a statement. “Genuine, generous and endlessly dedicated, Barbara embodies the spirit of Mary Kay Ash in every detail, every project and every act of service. We’re proud to celebrate this incredible milestone and to share a little more about the woman behind the award.”
