Another great Professional Development event is in the books for Lima Young Professionals.

Yesterday, we had the opportunity to visit the beautiful Shawnee Country Club for an afternoon of networking, learning, and leadership insight.

A special thank you to Gail Steffan for sharing her professional journey and valuable real world advice on workplace success, leadership, optimism, and finding what works best for you professionally. Gail’s experience spans an impressive career, including serving as founder and president of Northview Partners, managing the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority which includes Navy Pier, consulting on feasibility studies for professional sports venues, and now owning Pizza Arcadia in Bluffton.

We also appreciated Gail introducing us to Tara Heller, the new General Manager of Shawnee Country Club, before wrapping up the afternoon with a tour of the facility.

Thank you to the club for hosting us and providing a delicious lunch. We appreciate everyone who attended and helped make the event a success.
