Meet the YPro Committee

Carolyn Payne, Ecolab

Q: What is your favorite part of being on the SPACC YPro Committee? A: My favorite part about being a member of the SPACC YPro committee is the connections I’ve made with people outside of my own organization. Most companies or organizations offer internal opportunities to get involved with other professionals within that group, but it’s rare to have an opportunity to connect with many people from such varying backgrounds across the entire Twin Cities professional network. A network this widespread and diverse can be such a powerful tool when thinking about your own professional development. I’ve also loved getting to support so many wonderful, local Saint Paul businesses through the events put on by YPro!

Q: What is the best piece of advice someone has given to you? A: No one cares more about your career than you do. You have to own it, take initiative, and don’t hesitate to make your goals known to those who can help get you there. Q: What is a great way to further professional development? A: Step out of your comfort zone. I think the biggest opportunities for growth come when you’re uncomfortable. And if you have the opportunity to go to a meeting in person, do it! Even with all the online meeting technology we have available today, nothing beats face to face interaction. Q: What are you most looking forward to this holiday season? A: Seeing my family! My family lives in North Carolina so I don’t get to see them as often as I’d like, so I’m really looking forward to quality time with them and their new dog.
