With warmer weather soon to follow, February needed the extra day this leap year to make room for approximately 114 loss prevention professionals making moves and earning promotions in this shortest month while taking the next step in their professional careers.
Professional advancement and building a successful loss prevention career can mean many things to many different people. Yet while there are many different ways to evaluate our career vision and professional aspirations, what is most important is that we find the path that fits us best. We need to fashion and follow a professional development plan that leads us forward and builds our future. Whatever our professional goals and aspirations might be; whatever skills and experiences have helped forge our personal loss prevention career path, we have to find and seize the opportunities to learn, grow, and progress.
All of us throughout the loss prevention community are proud of the accomplishments of those that have worked hard and earned a new place along the loss prevention career path. Please join us in congratulating the following individuals on their recent career moves and promotions.
