2007 Young Alumna of the Year
Jaime Geer (’00) 

Jaime Geer received a B.A. in business administration with concentrations in economics and communication from Truman in 2000. While at Truman, she was involved with the Women’s Golf Team and was a four-year letter winner and a student assistant coach during her senior year.  She qualified for 3 Division II National Championships.  When not on the golf course, Geer was served on the Student Athletic Committee [Captains’ Roundtable] as its president and vice president as well as the business fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi where she was President her senior year.

Upon graduating from Truman, Geer went to work for Famous Barr Department Stores (now Macy’s) in the Assistant Buyer Management Training Program. For three years, Geer was the assistant buyer for Women’s Accessories and subsequently Junior Shoes. Then, in 2003, she became manager of College Recruiting and enjoyed returning to the college scene, especially Truman where she was able to recruit her fellow Truman graduates.

In 2005, Geer left St. Louis for an adventure in Denver, Colo. Moving west without a job, her goal was to be employed “by the end of the year.”  Not one month later, she began her career with RE/MAX International, serving as a Franchise Development Consultant for the RE/MAX St. Louis Region – a position that would find her back in Missouri two weeks every month.  Now, more than two years later, Geer works for the RE/MAX California & Hawaii Region.

When not booking frequent flyer miles, Geer still enjoys many of the things she did in college including golf, volunteering for Junior Achievement, and serving the University on the Business School’s Advisory Board. Also important to Geer are volunteering for the adoptive services of Bethany Christian Services and leading the Toastmasters public speaking group within her company.
