Shelly's Presentation is entitled "Do It Today, Not Someday".  Right out of high school Shelly went to technical college, got her degree and took a job as a medical secretary. Through hard work and an eagerness to take every opportunity, she advanced in the organization learning new skills and taking on leadership roles. Fueled by a passion to teach others, Shelly took a position as a technical college instructor. It wasn't long before she was promoted to Dean and then to the Vice President of Learning. Then in 2017 she was welcomed as the President of Mid-State.

At this Women in Business, Dr. Shelly Mondeik will share how to:
- Be prepared for the next opportunity.
- Live a life with no regrets.
- Take time to stop, listen, and reflect.
- Be the leader you want to be.
