In November, the chapter's Young AFCEAN group continued its Business Over Breakfast series by welcoming Robert Shofner, Program Executive Officer, business and enterprise systems, Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base, Alabama. Speaking from his extensive U.S. Air Force experience, Shofner provided the mixed civilian and military audience with an invaluable perspective, using AFCEA as a leadership model to bridge the gap between the military and industry. Sharing his personal leadership philosophies resonated well with audience members, who actively participated in the discussion and engaged with a variety of questions. Shofner emphasized the importance of understanding the depth of one's role in a career as opposed to simply following a scripted set path, and he illuminated the importance of giving 110 percent effort at all times as opposed to counting on luck as a guarantee for success. Shofner was one of many great speakers hosted by the Young AFCEANs. |
