Young Natural Resources Professionals Coffee Break Series Conversations with Industry and Foundation Leaders
2020 has been a difficult year for all of us, and each of us has experienced our own unique set of challenges. These may include adapting to working remotely, trying to work while taking care of children, concerns about job stability given the economy and the volatility in energy prices, or adjusting to new expectations from your superiors or clients.
Throughout 2021, the Foundation’s Young Professionals Committee will host an online networking opportunity for up to ten young professionals and students at each session to engage in conversation with an industry or Foundation leader about their career, how they overcame challenges, managed risk, defied conventional standards, and became the unique leader they are today. Take a break for an hour, grab a cup of coffee, and join us for an intimate conversation with a leader. There is no charge to participate in this program.
