We all agree that growing and engaging our own people is paramount to operational improvement. It has a direct effect on ROI. Employees will feel appreciated by learning from some of the very best. Also, they will be confident taking on the next career move with a full appreciation of all aspects of every department.

I’m proud to be heading up this important initiative. America’s Newspapers is at the forefront of leading our news media’s growth and innovation wave and to be a new team member spearheading this mentorship program is an honor. Dean, the board, members and his team, are top flight and I believe my energy, experience and positivity will complement America’s Newspapers.

This year’s program will take on a fresh, new approach that will be interactive, positive and highlight the industry’s forward progress. The objective is to make an immediate and long lasting impact for members and participants.
