Patrick Long is today's guest writer.
I am honored and excited to share the news of my recent election to the NPAworldwide Board of Directors. As I embark on this new responsibility, I am eager to contribute to the continued growth and success of our collaborative community while reflecting on the journey that led me here and the invaluable resources NPAworldwide has to offer.
Shortly after starting Provision People, I recognized the immense value in collaborating with a global network of other recruiters. This realization led me to join NPAworldwide, where I've had the privilege of working with talented professionals from around the world, building lasting relationships, and driving revenue for my firm through split fee placements. The support, resources, and opportunities provided by NPAworldwide have been instrumental in my professional growth and the success of our business.
Being elected to the NPAworldwide Board of Directors is a milestone in my career and a testament to the strong relationships I've built within the organization. This opportunity allows me to represent the voice of our diverse membership, working alongside fellow Board members to shape the strategic direction of NPAworldwide. As a Board member, I am committed to ensuring that our network continues to offer exceptional value to its members and remains at the forefront of the recruitment industry.
As a member of the Board of Directors, I am dedicated to the continuous improvement and evolution of NPAworldwide. This includes strengthening our global presence, embracing technology and innovation, fostering a culture of collaboration and support, enhancing professional development opportunities, and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.
One of the best ways to experience the thriving community of NPAworldwide is by attending its Global Conference. This year, join us in Atlanta, GA, to learn, network, and grow with fellow recruitment professionals from around the globe. The conference features expert speakers, networking opportunities, access to a global network of recruitment professionals, and consistently generates an impressive average annual ROI of 750%. Many NPAworldwide members, like Nerissa Reyes, Meri Laird Jones, and Jim Lyons, have found tremendous value and growth through their membership and participation in the Global Conference.
As I step into my role as a member of the NPAworldwide Board of Directors, I am eager to work collaboratively with my fellow Board members and the entire NPAworldwide community to realize our shared vision and drive continued success for our network. Together, we can shape the future of recruitment and create lasting, positive impacts for our members and the clients and candidates they serve. Don't miss the opportunity to elevate your recruitment game by attending NPAworldwide's Global Conference in Atlanta, GA. Mark your calendars and prepare to learn, network, and grow with recruitment professionals from around the globe (don't forget your business cards!). We look forward to seeing you there!
