A big THANK YOU to Vector Construction and Devon Simpson for being an investor in our CEO program and for welcoming our students today!
Devon shared some valuable lessons about the importance of building relationships, leading with integrity, and doing what you say you’re going to do. He also spoke about the impact that great mentors have had on his life and career. A great reminder that success isn’t just about what you know, but also about the relationships you build and the reputation you earn along the way.
What an interesting opportunity to learn about a highly specialized company with a global reach, right here in Decatur! Vector Construction specializes in concrete restoration and repair, helping extend the life of concrete structures and infrastructure. Their work involves specialized materials, products, and techniques, and it was fascinating for our students to see how a business can build its success by becoming an expert in a very specific industry.
One of my favorite things about the CEO program is introducing students to businesses and career opportunities they may never have known existed. You don’t have to be everything to everyone. There is tremendous opportunity in finding your niche and doing it exceptionally well!
Thank you, Devon and Vector Construction, for investing in our program, sharing your experiences, and helping our students see the opportunities that exist right here in our community and beyond!
