Cynthia "Cindy" Howe (Carl's Sister)
Office Manager with C. W. Howe Partners since June 2005

Cindy Howe began working at the firm in 2005 when Carl phoned her and asked if she would work part time for the summer. After two months of being an enormous help, she was invited (there may have been some pleading also) to stay on full time in the role of office manager.

"An office manager is responsible for the smooth operation of the daily business of the company," Cindy believes, "The office manager makes it possible for the staff to work efficiently which results in client satisfaction."

Cindy is originally from Los Angeles but relocated to Santa Cruz, California in the early 1980s. Her career as office manager started in commercial real estate where she acquired computer skills preparing legal contracts and correspondence, performing accounting tasks such as AR/AP plus mailings used for target marketing. She received an Associate Arts degree from Cabrillo College in 1990 after attending night classes. Her additional experience as office manager comes from working in landscape architecture, computer hardware and natural products manufacturing.

Today, Cindy lives in West Los Angeles and enjoys the incredible weather. She likes entertaining and is an avid cook and baker. She loves to travel throughout California and abroad to explore natural and man-made environments. At home, her pets include two turtles and a fresh water aquarium.
