#WednesdayWisdom courtesy of Dan Black, 2013-14 chair of the NACE Board of Directors and 2021 Kauffman Award winner: "Some of the best advice and guidance I’ve received in my career was from people who had a completely different style, background, and/or approach from my own. That perspective, and the reminder that there are many different ways to see and do things, has been invaluable in my leadership journey."

As 2024 draws to a close, reflecting on the challenges and triumphs, it's clear that it has been a remarkable year for NACE. Working alongside an exceptional team of talented individuals has truly made the magic happen. Among our achievements this year: - Surpassed 17,500 members! A milestone in our nearly 70-year history. - Took the lead in national discussions on career readiness & early talent acquisition; featured in prestigious media outlets like the Washington Post, New York Times, and Wall Street Journal with over 500 unduplicated citations. - Formed groundbreaking partnerships with Career Launch and Suitable.co to introduce the innovative NACE Competency Assessment Tool. - Embraced the AI Revolution through a ton of content & our successful AI Bootcamp series with Jeremy Schifeling, which garnered such positive feedback in the Fall that we are gearing up for an updated session this Spring. I extend my heartfelt gratitude, on behalf of the NACE team, to all our members and supporters - you inspire us everyday and we are proud to stand alongside you. Stay tuned for our exciting plans in 2025! Wishing everyone happy holidays! National Association of Colleges and Employers
