From Executive Assistant to the C Suite-Do Titles Really Matter?
Please join us virtually on Tuesday, May 17th from 2:00pm to 3:30pm as Terry Merritt discusses her journey from Executive Assistant to Sr Vice President of Walbridge, one of the largest privately owned construction companies in America. Terry credits her success to her openness to accepting a position at Walbridge which she was clearly over qualified for and then taking advantage of opportunities both external and internal to successfully grow her career. Terry is well known for the receptions she hosted when women executives in SE Michigan made it to the C Suite. Her honest advice and transparent stories will resonate with women in all stages of their careers.
Terry has received numerous accolades throughout her career including Inforum’s Inner Circle of Achievement, Crains Detroit Business 2002 Most Influential Women, Corp Magazine’s 2002 95 Most Powerful Women in Michigan, The Athena Award from Oakland County Chamber of Commerce and the State of Michigan Department of Civil Rights, Michigan Women’s Commission. Although retired from Walbridge, Terry continues to engage in the community and currently serves on four non-profit boards including the Michigan Women’s Forward, Haven, Inforum Founding Honorary Board (also was past President) and the Wayne State University HIGH Program Advisory Board. Terry currently is involved in HR Consulting, the Founder and Member of EPHC HR Forum, Co-Leader of National C-Level Women’s Pilot Program (North US), facilitating a professional women’s program at Ward Church and leading the CEO Search for Haven.
