Career Success on Your Own Terms in the New Year
Thursday, January 3rd, 2013Executive Panel
Monday, February 21st, 2011
John Pilla, Heidi McNary, Chad Henneke, Ron Brown, Vicki Johnson, Dave Brant, Lea Anderson
Our January meeting was co-sponsored with the Wichita State University section. It was a panel featuring 6 Wichita company executives discussing choosing leadership paths for career growth, and expectations for collegiate new hires. Questions from the audience were moderated by our own Region I Senator, Vicki Johnson. Over 50 attendees listened to the advice offered by the executives. One theme touched on by the panelists was the importance of teamwork and working well with others. A piece of advice from the evening that applies at all levels of your career is to “declare a major” and then work on the skills you need to get to that next point in your career.
