This month at work, I’m serving as a moderator on a professional development panel for our Early Career Professionals group. It’s brought me to a few conclusions:
- Wow. I’m not only *not* part of the Early Career Professionals, but I’m serving as a moderator?! It’s an honor, even if it’s hard for my millennial spirit to swallow.
- I am so very lucky to be part of such a dynamic professional group.
- It’s not always obvious what the benefits of joining such a group are, for those who haven’t experienced it.
So, I’m taking this as an opportunity to step back and share the benefits of being a member of PPRS. Consider sharing this message with a colleague you think might benefit from joining!
