Sometimes the most exciting opportunities can happen when you least expect them…and my guest today can certainly attest to that notion! Emily Zimmer, Marketing & Events Coordinator for DCTC, was enjoying her Thanksgiving when she found out that the President of the United States would be visiting Dakota County Technical College (DCTC) to promote the passing of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill. Emily joins us today to talk about the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work with the Secret Service, the White House Communications Team, and a variety of college staff to plan the event. We’ll discuss the behind-the-scenes details, challenges, and rewarding memories that come with having a role in hosting the President. We’ll also talk about the importance of having relationships with the political delegates in your state and how fostering those relationships can lead to unique opportunities for students and the community at large.

Thanks for listening!
