STAFDA A PREVIEW OF STAFDA’S UPCOMING 47th ANNUAL CONVENTION & TRADE SHOW from page 68<br />
Two additional sessions on Sunday, November 5<br />
include a “Women in Distribution” luncheon and an<br />
“Emerging Leaders Forum.”<br />
The luncheon will be a networking opportunity along<br />
with a program from JJ Geronimo.<br />
Many professional women desire<br />
more influence and impact yet don’t<br />
know the necessary steps to make<br />
their goals a reality. Her luncheon<br />
topic is Accelerate your Impact.<br />
She’ll share strategies for women in business to shine<br />
a light on the opportunities to enhance their path. Securing<br />
that next position, a Board seat, or even starting a new<br />
initiative often requires women to enhance their brand,<br />
align to specific projects, and strategically expand their<br />
network.<br />
JJ was a leader in the tech industry and now empowers<br />
and encourages women to create a lasting impact with<br />
proven career strategies.<br />
Moderating an “Emerging Leaders Forum” will be Thom<br />
Singer. Many STAFDA members are Baby Boomers and<br />
grooming the next generation to take over the business.<br />
Whether it’s a family member or tapping a long-term<br />
employee, these upcoming leaders need to form a network<br />
with their peers who are on the same career trajectory.<br />
Developing a person’s “inner circle” of contacts – inside<br />
and outside work – is the key to more opportunities.<br />
On Tuesday, November 7,<br />
STAFDA’s Economic Consultant Alan<br />
Beaulieu will present his popular<br />
Economic Update. His gift is pulling<br />
together the global economy, U.S.<br />
legislation, and the North American<br />
economy to present a comprehensive, industry-focused<br />
synopsis to help businesses through uncertain times. As<br />
president and principal of ITR Economics, Alan is one of the<br />
pre-eminent economists in the country.<br />
STAFDA’s Convention & Trade Show is for members-only.<br />
