Ask the CEO forum in the board room of Fulton Financial Advisors
19 guests mostly under the age of 30 attended our first “Ask the CEO” forum at the headquarters building of Fulton Financial Advisors (FFA) in downtown Lancaster on Thursday, April 23, 2011. Our CEO on the hot seat was Dave Hanson. Dave is the President and CEO of FFA. We asked Dave to speak to “What I wish I knew before I was 30″.
Attendees came by special invitation as we were reaching out to young men entering their careers. As we all did when we began our vocations, they were looking for answers to questions like, “What does success look like”? and “How do I navigate through uncharted waters when I make a wrong turn in my career or make a mistake”?
Dave Hanson boldly shared that his life has been under the direction of Jesus Christ. There were no mistakes when he followed God’s leading. Yes, Dave said, I made several errors and made some wrong moves, but God directed me back to His path for my life and I sensed his guidance all along the way.
A good amount of time was spent with questions and answers directed to our host. The attendees enjoyed the session very much and were given an opportunity to continue the conversation. An introduction was made to Operation Timothy as a good next step in their journey.
Our leader in Lancaster, Chris Martin, said that this format was terrific and we need to do this again soon. If you are interested in helping to host a future “Ask the CEO” in your city, contact me and we can begin the planning process.
