Program Manager, State Organizations
I develop, maintain, and track information and program activities of the ACT State Organizations effort.
Every day is different! I work with my State Organizations team members on organizing events, creating newsletters and marketing materials, and work on special projects. I get to work with people from all over the company which helps me to built vital relationships to be able to complete tasks in an efficient and effective manner!
Here's the first step for everyone
Sometimes the focus is too much on the destination right out of college instead of on the journey and what makes you happy as an individual. Do not let success be defined by the title you hold but by the respect you receive from your peers and what value you add to your workplace. Enjoy your career journey, learn from your mistakes, when you fail get up and try again and never pass up an opportunity to completely step out of your comfort zone! That is where all the learning happens!
