Monday Nov 07, 2022
Monday Nov 07, 2022
On this week's episode, Kevin and Les are joined by Tom Harrison, Chief Operating Officer at UTEC, and Mark Ouimet, Former Congressman. The two are responsible for the Ypsilanti Chamber of Commerce joining with Ann Arbor’s to then create what is now the Ann Arbor/ Ypsilanti Regional Chamber. These two have such diverse backgrounds and have done so many things for the community, it would be easier to ask what they haven't done. There are many topics up for discussion that include:
Giving back to the community
Alumni relationships
Banking then, now, and the future
Artificial intelligence
How working virtually affects company culture
And more! Another common theme of this episode, as one might note, is Tom’s mom loves Mark more than Tom. You won’t want to miss this banter. Thanks for listening!
