EPIC: When did you first attend the EPIC Toledo Summit?
Nikyle Fitzgerald (NF): My very first Summit was in the fall of 2015. I was intrigued and curious about my first event with EPIC. I was both impressed and encouraged to see a vibrate community of young professionals gathered to for personal and professional development.
EPIC: What was the biggest take away from that event?
NF: The impact of seeing the heads of the 4 colleges sitting on one stage beside the head of ProMedica committed to speaking to our generation of young professionals was a truly inspiring sight. The variety of speakers from our community spoke to how resourceful and welcoming the Summit is. The Summit showcases not just a social gathering of like minds, but the unique and artful outlook our area has on professional and personal development.
EPIC: What has your involvement been with EPIC since then?
NF: I have been to several social events that I found to be very creative and tasteful including the social 72 degrees at the Toledo Botanical Garden. After the Summit I had the opportunity to participate in the Board Member Accelerator Series. The experience has opened my eyes to the depth of responsibility and impact sitting on a board has. That insight has allowed me to navigate through options feeling both prepared and optimistic.
