July MBE of the Month

Hoorah to Carolyn Seeger, owner of Keystone Gifts, being the featured MBE for the month of July! Ms. Seeger has exhibited the four pillars of the NMSDC which are Certify, Develop, Connect and Advocate! Carolyn transitioned her business from the California market to the Mountain Plains region and ensured that Keystone Gifts is a certified MBE. She not only donated items for the 2021 Annual Golf Tournament, but also offered to volunteer for the event, supported the event in attending the luncheon and is constantly reaching out to the Council to ensure she is an advocate for the MPMSDC. She has developed stakeholders within the council to include helping with securing promotional items for the Council, connecting with other MBEs and corporate members, and she advocates for MBEs and the MPMSDC. Carolyn has not only shown up for the MPMSDC, but continues to promote the MPMSDC community and spirit that the Council encourages! Congratulations Carolyn Seeger of Keystone Gifts!

Keystone Gifts, a promotional products distributor, has been in business for 29+ years. It was previously owned by Carolyn’s sister, Elizabeth Tsuji, and Carolyn came on board in 2003 working in various capacities from helping with fulfillment projects to full time Sales Manager. When the pandemic hit in February of 2020, Liz decided to step down and asked if Carolyn would take over.

In May of 2020, Keystone Gifts became a Colorado corporation. Keystone Gifts has been an MBE with the NMSDC for many years, perhaps as early as 1992, recognizing the tremendous benefit of having the Council in their corner to help build relationships and foster partnerships. When Keystone Gifts moved to Colorado, it was a business necessity to continue on with the MPMSDC.
