Margaret Hilger
Q&A
What do you really do at work?
At Global Management Partners (GMP) I draft agendas, build webpages, design society materials, engage membership, make coffee, drink coffee, grade exams, unjam the printer, and the list goes on. Basically GMP gives me the opportunity to do a little bit of everything.
Describe your Perfect Day.
Waking up without the help of an alarm clock and heading out for run in the cool morning with a great playlist to soundtrack the miles. Then getting a strong cup of coffee and a calorie heavy brunch before heading out into the world to engage in some randomness, live music, and a pint.
What’s your Superpower?
X-ray Vision! But seriously folks… I am able to see things in an “outside-the-box” way. The collaborative GMP team model allows for creativity and problem-solving. Working with such a team gives us all the ability to connect across organizations, weather any bumps in the road, and stay motivated towards the success of all our goals.
What’s your life motto?
Without music life would be a mistake. -Friedrich Nietzsche
What inspires you?
I am inspired by great art, authentic love, and genuine humans. I love having the opportunity to build relationships with all our members (even Packer fans) not only by learning about their professional work but also discovering their passions and what inspires them to do what they do.
Her Story:
Margaret runs on passion, possibility, creativity, and more coffee than is good for a person. As the Membership Engagement Specialist for the PRE-hospital Stroke Treatment Organization and Organization for Human Brain Mapping, she collaborates with members to identify opportunities that continue to move organizations towards achieving the goals of their Mission.
Margaret was born and raised in South Minneapolis and crossed the river to attend the College of Saint Catherine. She received her BA in Studio Art and Global Spiritualties with study abroad terms and semesters in the Republic of Ireland, France, Belgium, Northern Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, and Tanzania. She also has experience with welding, carving, and torching but for everyone’s safety she will keep those skills outside of office hours.
