“The most rewarding parts of the Redwoods program were the relationships we built with fellow Redwoods and the exposure we got to senior leaders throughout the organization. It meant a lot that senior leaders would invest time in the program to help us learn more about who they were as both human beings and talented leaders. That exposure helped shape my thoughts on the type of leader I wanted to be and continues to have a positive impact on me today.”
