We are pleased to announce that our newly formed ACP Early Careerist Special Interest Group (EC-SIG) will present at the  2024 Fall DRJ Conference in Dallas. The presentation is entitled: "Emerging Frontiers in Resilience: A Dynamic Dialogue for Early Careerists" with Dr. Bernard Jones of St. John's University, Scott Balentine of Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, and Daniel Poucher of Wolf and Company.

We are excited about the opportunity to represent the ACP at DRJ and the chance to conduct an engaging and thoughtful session targeting those new to the industry. If you plan to attend DRJ Fall, please join Scott, Daniel, and I at our breakout session!

You may wonder, "What is the ACP Early Careerist Special Interest Group (EC-SIG)?"

Beginning this year, the ACP is launching (3) Special Interest Groups (SIGs) to focus on essential topics to promote collaboration, discussion, and networking opportunities.

The initial ACP SIGs chosen are Early Careerists, Healthcare, and Finance/Banking.

Several ACP members have stepped up to assist with the Early Careerists SIG, and we are delighted by their willingness to serve.
