Loma Linda University Health is launching a revamped initiative called Learning to Lead (L2L), a campus program that provides networking and growth opportunities for the organization’s millennial-aged professionals (born between 1981–1996).
The first event will be a lunch-and-learn Wednesday, Oct. 17, from noon to 1 p.m. in the Coleman Pavilion’s Brian and Maureen Bull School of Medicine Lounge, featuring speaker Scott Perryman, MBA, senior vice president for Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital. He will talk about emerging leadership styles within a changing demographic in the workforce. RSVP by Oct. 12.
About half of the employees at Loma Linda University Health are millennials, according to Human Resource Management.
Departments are encouraged to support their employees of this age group in taking time during work hours to participate in Learning to Lead programs and activities.
Learning to Lead began on campus a few years ago as a grassroots program helmed by millennial employees. Human Resource Management is now formalizing those early efforts to support Loma Linda University Health’s millennial team members.
“These employees are the future of our organization,” said David Conkerite II, MBA, director of management residency and business internship programs.
Opportunities to learn and be mentored
Learning to Lead will offer a variety of opportunities for career development for millennials, such as:
• Leadership conversations—lunch & learns, development seminars, panel discussions.
• Small groups and clubs— public speaking, book clubs, cooking clubs, think tanks and more.
• Networking and socializing— mixers, vespers, interactive events.
