Celebrating a Decade of Success: Two Trailblazing Franchisees Renew for a Third Term

Celebrating a Decade of Franchise Success: Liz Costa & Corina Mack Renew for Another 5 Years

At Patrice & Associates, we’re proud to support franchisees who turn vision into reality — building businesses that make a lasting impact on clients, candidates, and communities alike.

Over the past decade, we’ve welcomed incredible entrepreneurs into our franchise family — individuals who’ve grown thriving operations through hard work, resilience, and a passion for helping others succeed.

Two shining examples of this success are Liz Costa and Corina Mack, who have each just renewed their Patrice & Associates franchises for a third 5-year term. Their journeys started with a single conversation — and grew into 10 years of purpose-driven entrepreneurship.

Today, Liz and Corina are living proof that with the right opportunity and a determination to succeed, anything is possible.

Liz Costa: A Decade of Purpose and Recognition & Results

Over the past 10 years, Liz Costa has built a high-performing recruiting business known for its integrity, excellence, and client satisfaction. Her dedication hasn’t gone unnoticed — Liz was honored with the Franchisee of the Year award, one of the highest accolades in our system.

She’s not just a top performer — she’s a leader, mentor, and trusted name in the recruiting industry.

“After ten incredible years with Patrice & Associates Specialty Recruiting, partnering with amazing clients and talented candidates, I’m so excited to renew my franchise and continue doing the work I love,” Liz shared.

“I’m deeply grateful for the support, leadership, and collaboration of colleagues, clients, and friends along the way. I look forward to an even stronger decade ahead. Here’s to continued success, partnership, and purpose!”

Corina Mack: From Stuck to Franchise Success

Ten years ago, Corina Mack found herself at a crossroads. Feeling stuck in a corporate role that no longer inspired her, she knew something had to change.

“I was sick of being a cog in the wheel,” she recalls. “When I first heard about franchising, I thought, ‘Are you crazy? I assumed you needed over a million dollars in liquid cash!’”

But after doing her research and exploring her options, Corina discovered Patrice & Associates — and in 2015, she took the leap and opened her own franchise.

That bold decision marked the start of a life-changing journey.

Over the past decade, Corina has built a thriving business that reflects her passion, values, and desire for flexibility. She’s earned more than 40 awards, including being named Franchisee of the Year an impressive four times.

“This journey has been a true blessing,” Corina says. “I’ve built a career I love, created financial freedom, and made a real difference in people’s lives.”

She also credits the Patrice & Associates team for their continued support — and is especially excited about what’s ahead.

“The support from the P&A team has been rock solid, and I’m thrilled about the new automation and AI tools launching this month. The dream works — if you put in the work!”

Looking Ahead: A Future Fueled by Passion and Purpose

Liz and Corina represent the very best of Patrice & Associates: leadership, grit, compassion, and a drive to create meaningful impact.

Their success stories remind us that with the right support and determination, franchise ownership can transform lives.

Here’s to another decade of growth, opportunity, and empowering more entrepreneurs to take control of their futures.
