The chapter's Emerging Leaders banded together with the Aberdeen AUSA Young Professionals to present a co-hosted virtual webinar series for Aberdeen Proving Ground-area young professionals. Focused on the "Effective Use of LinkedIn" as a networking and development tool, the two webinars in November were led by Annie Brock, president and CEO of the Leader Transition Institute (LTI).
The first of the two webinars focused on advanced networking techniques for LinkedIn. Brock provided attendees useful insights on how to best locate and attract new connections. She walked through a series of interactive exercises to demonstrate helpful hints and methods to reach out and grow connection networks.
One week later, the second webinar focused on how to build a better profile. By request, Brock analyzed profiles of attendees to offer her opinions on what was done well and what could be improved. Each attendee walked away with ideas on how to strengthen their profile, whether through a new picture, updates to content or other means to catch the eye of recruiters and connections.
As the president of LTI, Brock is focused on helping service members and families transitioning from active duty to the civilian sector and veterans who want to reset their transition. Educating people about LinkedIn as an effective personal marketing tool is one of many ways that she advances this mission.
The chapter would like to thank Annie Brock for spending the time to educate young professionals. The chapter's Emerging Leaders focused on expanding collaborative events with other AFCEA chapters and local young professional organizations. This was a great program to add to the repertoire.
