Show Notes
In this episode, we sit down with Crystal Odom-McKinney, longtime board member and former Region Five Director for NAWDP, to explore how the organization has evolved to meet the changing needs of workforce professionals and the communities they serve. Recorded live at NAWDP's 41st annual conference, Crystal shares her personal journey from case manager to leader, the importance of intentional growth that preserves quality and connection, and why staying "uncomfortable" is essential for driving real change. She also offers powerful advice on building your professional toolbox, mentoring job seekers to break generational cycles, and keeping NAWDP at the center of your success.
