As technology and AI reshape the workplace, employees who understand how their company makes money and how to manage their own money will stand out as more valuable, trusted, and promotable. By learning these concepts, you’ll not only become a stronger leader at work but also reduce stress and make smarter decisions in your personal life. You Will Learn How to: - See the big picture of how your company really works — and why leaders who understand this get noticed. - Think like decision-makers, using simple tools to weigh trade-offs and make smarter choices in projects and in life. - Stand out in the age of AI by building human skills that technology can’t replace: judgment, trust, and financial insight. - Connect the dots between company goals and your personal goals so you’re aligned, resilient, and future-ready. - Lead with confidence by reducing money stress at home and building credibility at work. This isn’t just a finance workshop — it’s a career development session that gives employees the skills to become more valuable in the workplace, more confident at home, and harder to replace in the AI-driven future of work.

[] Mark your calendars! The Regions 4 and 6 joint operating committee (Opcom) meeting is happening again! We're busy working out the details. This year we're focussing on making it more interactive so that everyone can make the most of being in person. To support this we moved some of the lecture-style presentations to online meetings leading up to the Opcom. These sessions are not just for attendees, but also section, chapter, or affinity group volunteers or those interested in volunteering in IEEE. We have two sessions for each topic to make the training more available to volunteers. IEEE Basics is designed to get new volunteers up and running quickly, connecting you with tools and people to help you succeed. Events is all about bringing people together successfully, be it for lecture, workshop, conferences, outreach, or family events. The vitality sessions are there to help you look at your membership, how they can be served, and how to strengthen your organization's volunteers.
