Executive Roundtable Program

In just a few words – How does your membership support your business?
Our membership allows for multiple opportunities to grow and connect with others in  a broader community.

Share some common themes discussed in your Roundtable.
In our Roundtable, the common themes exist no matter the industry. Any topic for us is open for discussion. We are able to share strengths, questions, and potential solutions.  

What benefits you - either professionally or personally - from belonging to our Executive Roundtables?
Belonging to a Roundtable allows to further grow the membership benefits. Meeting individuals from all industries is a wonderful way to gain perspective.

What is one professional goal you have for the next 90 days?
A continuous professional goal that I have is  to continue connecting, motivating, and engaging with everyone I interact with. Building this foundation is imperative to grow.

Growth – Neutral or Decline…How would you describe the 2-year outlook for your industry?
Growth. The AEC industry is positioned for growth. There is an ability to assist with recovery plans in all markets and present viable solutions to scale.


Just for Fun
What was the last music or cultural event you attended - in person or virtual?
The last cultural event I attended was at the MSO.

If you had a super power – what would it be?

Teleportation

What's one fact about you – that most of your colleagues don’t know?
I am a very open person. A fun fact about me is that I enjoy playing Sheepshead. My dad began teaching me how to play at a young age.

Out of town guests need entertaining – what is your go to destination and why?
My home! I love to entertain, cook, and enjoy time together.

Professional admirer – Name one person in the MKE region whom you admire and why.
Jen Dirks, President and CEO of Tempo. Jen has an amazing way to connect and inspire those who interact with her on any level. She has an ability to listen and support.
