My Last 60 Days
2016 NW Regional Management Conference
Leaving a job – whether because of retirement, a better opportunity, or termination – is a difficult reality that most of us encounter at least once in our career. Our panelists will reflect on their job transitions to provide at least five action items that you should consider when leaving a job.
The idea for this panel discussion came from an ELGL article written by Julie Underwood (current City of Daly City, CA assistant city manager) about resigning as the City of Shoreline, WA city manager. Learn more about attending the session and NW Regional Management Conference.
