NEW BRIGHTON, MINN. (May 21, 2010) – In recognition of her professional accomplishments and community involvement, the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal named Terri Lee one of 25 “Women to Watch.” Lee is president of Risdall Medical Group, the healthcare-focused division of Risdall Advertising Agency. She also serves on the Risdall Marketing Group board of directors. Lee was nominated for the award by her colleagues and clients.

“Since Terri joined our agency in 1993, she has been tremendously successful at navigating the complicated sea of health care marketing,” said John Risdall, vice chairman and CEO of Risdall Marketing Group. “She effectively takes on difficult marketing challenges, making a real difference for physicians treating illness and patients suffering from disease.”

In her career at Risdall Marketing Group, Lee has served a broad range of clients from local startups like Devicix and CoreSpine Technologies to Fortune 500 companies like OptumHealth (a division of UnitedHealthcare), Hospira and 3M. She spearheaded the development of Risdall Medical Group in 2009. Since its launch, Risdall Medical Group has expanded globally with a satellite office in England and added four full-time employees in the New Brighton, Minn., office.

“When I first met [Terri], I was impressed by her ability to understand a complex medical technology and recognize the deficiencies and areas that needed attention within the businesses,” said Christine Horton, CEO of CoreSpine Technologies.

Lee has been involved extensively in the community as well. Her community participation includes the following organizations:

• C.R.O.S.S. Food Shelf
• Heritage Christian Academy
• LifeScience Alley
• Medical Marketing Association
• Roseville Library Foundation
• Rotary Club of Roseville
• Normandale Lutheran Church

“Terri possesses a unique ability to convey her thoughts in a positive, appropriate, and encouraging way,” said Tonya Scott, elementary principal of Heritage Christian Academy. “She is enthusiastic and it becomes contagious. The teachers and administrators of Heritage Christian Academy value her in every regard.”
