“Membership has helped me in my career because it has given me an avenue of continual learning and growth.
Plus, I
have had the chance to meet so many others that I've been able to build relationships with and I can call on
them whenever I need advice or another perspective on my specific problems. I also enjoy mentoring others,
and I
feel I've been able to positively impact the careers and lives of others, which gives me a sense of
fulfillment
in my career and professional life.”
– Aaron Kanne, Senior Vice President, Care Logistics
