Misty Bergeron To Lead Prominent Staffing Companys' Expansion into State

MARTIN, TENN. (July 27, 2007) – The Hamilton-Ryker Group is proud to announce the expansion of operations into Louisiana with the recent opening of its first branch in Baton Rouge. Focusing primarily on staffing for industrial and manufacturing companies, Hamilton-Ryker of Louisiana, LLC, will be led by Misty A. Bergeron, who will serve as president and oversee the expansion of Hamilton-Ryker branches throughout Louisiana.

“We are thrilled to have such a quality administrator join our team,” said Kelly McCreight, vice president of the Hamilton-Ryker Company. “With Misty leading our Louisiana operations, we have great confidence our future of our expansion into the state.”

Bergeron, a native of the New Orleans suburbs, began her career in the staffing industry in 1998 as a staffing specialist with Manpower, Inc, in Hammond, Louisiana.

Having been a very active member of several of the chambers of commerce in Tangipahoa and St. Tammany parishes, Bergeron plans the same in the Baton Rogue area as well as many local charitable, community and business organizations.

She is married to Ronnie Bergeron, Jr., with whom she shares two children, Kaine Michael and Brenon Russel. In her spare time, Bergeron enjoys PTA involvement with her children’s school, raising and breeding panther and veiled chameleons and fishing with her husband.
