Phil Smith, President & CEO of CAPTEL, recently announced that Thermopolis, Wyo., has been selected as the location of the company’s third office and western regional headquarters.
“Our decision to expand our business in Thermopolis and Hot Springs County was based on the high quality of the area’s workforce and strong commitment of the community’s civic and business leaders to attract businesses like ours,” said Smith.
CAPTEL conducted preliminary interviews with prospective employees in August to determine the level of interest among the Thermopolis work force.
“We received an excellent response and met many well-qualified candidates during our preliminary interviews of prospective employees,” said Smith.
CAPTEL management will meet with Thermopolis officials later this week to finalize selection of its new office location and develop plans for staff recruitment and training. Over the next 18 months the company plans to hire at least 20 employees to represent its national association and political clients.
“The Thermopolis office will provide CAPTEL with a new platform for increasing our capacity to support the growth of our national clients,” said Amy Biederman, CAPTEL’s Vice President of Client Development.
Founded in 1997, CAPTEL provides telephone and direct mail fundraising and development services for the nation's top national business, medical and professional associations and some of America's leading public policy and political organizations. The company is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and maintains a satellite office in Baltimore, Md.
Executives from CAPTEL's Washington office will return to Thermopolis on October 3 and 4 to conduct formal interviews with prospective employees from the Thermopolis area.
