Kudos and hearty congratulations to Parul Luthra and the The Technology Council of Central Pennsylvania on a spectacular summit today! So pleased to contribute and happy to present on a topic very close to my heart - generational leadership. In my assessment, it’s not about attributes assigned to an entire generation, its about creating individual relationships across the generations and helping each person be the very best they can be! ??
We're thrilled to welcome Bill Randall to our team as our new Chief Advancement Officer! His passion and strategic expertise are a perfect match to help lead us as we embark on the next era of Whitaker Center. Thanks for the warm welcome, Central Penn Business Journal!

It was an inspiring day at The Technology Council of Central Pennsylvania's Diversity in Tech Summit, where our CEO, Mary Oliveira, delivered a keynote speech on the power and possibility of the STEAM education pipeline from K-12 to college to corporate. A fantastic panel featuring our very own Kristin James, alongside Bili Mattes and Sue Engels, PMP, (who we’re especially proud to have on our Women in STEAM Committee) served as living proof of what creating opportunity through mentorship can be! A huge thank you to our partners and fellow thought leaders who are helping drive real change that makes STEAM more accessible, inclusive, and innovative every day! #WomenInSTEAM #DiversityInTech #STEAMPipeline #MentorshipMatters #WhitakerCenter

What a phenomenal day yesterday at the The Technology Council of Central Pennsylvania's Diversity in Tech Summit hosted by Penn State Harrisburg! Privileged to be on a panel with Sue Engels, PMP and Kristin James talking about the very real competitive advantage that an inclusive tech workforce can create and why it's worth the effort. And thanks to Gibran Jones, our moderator extraordinaire! Also inspired during the day by Joyce Bender, Marc Kline, Una Martone, and Mary Oliveira with messages about the importance of honoring and respecting different perspectives and experiences. #womeninstem #inclusion #womenintech
