Women of McGrath: Brooke Lentz
Brooke Lentz handles our PR and community outreach here at McGrath Auto helping us partner with local businesses and give back to Greater Cedar Rapids!
When asked how she ended up at McGrath, Brooke remembers her perfect high school car, the Pontiac Sunfire…never imagining back then she’d end up in the auto business. Brooke is also a valued Zumba instructor at the McGrath Fitness Center where she teaches with our Wellness Coordinator Lindsay Olson.
FYI…Brooke teaches her Zumba class on Wednesday’s from 5:30 to 6:30.
Brooke is a graduate of Wartburg College and Cedar Rapids Jefferson High School. Her parents were high school sweethearts from Kennedy that just celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary.
In addition to her duties at McGrath Brooke serves on the Metro North Rotary Board of Directors. The Metro North Rotary is responsible for a number of community related projects including the redesign of classrooms at Metro High School and fundraising efforts for the Boys & Girls Club of Cedar Rapids.
Thanks for all you do at McGrath and in the community Brooke! We’re lucky to have you.
Read MoreMeet Emerging Leader Mel Payne!
Mel Payne is living proof that the girls do it better than the boys! You’ll find Mel over at Pat McGrath Chevyland in Cedar Rapids six days a week!
Mel patterns her leadership style after Susan B. Anthony, the social activist who played a huge role in the Women’s Suffrage movement. We’re proud to have such a strong personality on our staff! Thanks Mel and welcome to our exclusive club of Emerging Leaders.
Now….just to get to know Mel a little bit:
- She’s originally from Flint, Michigan.
- Mel and her fiancé are cat people, the cat to people ratio at the household a solid 3 to 5.
- Mel is a loyal member of the McGrath Family, yet, whenever she gets out of here, she enjoys the beaches of Hilton Head South Carolina. Beautiful this time of year.
- Like this writer, her first car was a 1994 Ford Probe. Those were popular back in the day.
- She likes what all of us Iowan’s like in August, backyard barbeques, pools and family basketball.
Want to know something kind of weird about Mel Payne?
She can use her toes like fingers. Her closet nickname is “Monkey Toes”? Not only can Mel sell cars, she can use her toes like a chimpanzee!
Amazing.
Joking aside, we’re happy to have Mel as a valued member of the McGrath Family of Dealerships!
