Program Director at Silver Diner
in Springfield, VA

"I love that I have been able to establish long lasting friendships with many of the guests that return weekly. When I see the joy on the children's faces and their excitement for the activities I have provided, it makes my job worth it. The verbal appreciation from the parents also reconfirms that I am doing well in my job. However, I am disappointed that over recent years in the company's quest to make all Kids Night's in all restaurants the same, they have taken away much of my control to provide variety to our guests."

Program Director at Ultimate Medical Academy
in Tampa, FL

"As an educator, I change lives. If I am able to change the way a student perceives him/herself, I have changed that person's life. As a Program Director, I am able to interact and inspire teachers who interact with thousands of students on a daily basis. There can be no greater calling than that."

Program Director at Salt Lake Community College
in Salt Lake City, UT

"As the interim program director I work with a group of talented faculty to deliver quality education to Culinary Arts students. I clear the hurdles out of the way so the faculty can teach. I am the face of the program in dealing with the public and the College Administration. When we do good work I give all the credit to the faculty. When things go wrong I take the blame. My faculty respect me and support me fully."

Program Director at SAP
in Palo Alto, CA

"I love the challenge and scope of work, decision making authority and accountability in working with my colleagues as well as stakeholders. The down side has been ensuring speed of change which has to percolate to the over 100 colleagues in my area of responsibility. At times it felt easier to step in and effect the changes myself."

Program Director at City of Atlanta
in Atlanta, GA

"As a program director I love that I can take a clean board and build something completely new or add to something great. Especially with youth. Many people don't see the long term effects of their career but this is one where you can look at the kids you helped and see your influence. I only hate the political downfalls as decisions are made not for the kids but for favor."
