Alaska Business Power List mocks
Again, thank you and your organization – we provided 2023 Power List copies to 25-30 attendees and speakers at the 2023 Career Management Workshop. I wish you could have seen the expressions of ‘wow’ on some attendees’ faces! We have military, students, and other community members in the crowd, and that was the target audience we (the WBU SHRM #5583 student leadership group) had hoped to attract. I always note the value of the Power List by walking people through the table of contents so that they get the idea of scanning industries of interest and using the Power List to continue their research of local companies.”
