Executive Director
I manage a state trade association that represents the plumbing-heating-cooling contractors of Texas.
I manage a staff of 6 employees. I report to a board of directors of 18 contractors who work and own businesses in the industry we represent. I spend the majority of my time lobbying for, representing and promoting the plumbing and hvac trades.
Here's the first step for everyone
Apply for internships paid / unpaid to do office or project work for an association. Learn microsoft office. Consider a degree in business.
"Because my role as Executive Director dovetailed nicely into my degree, I did not hear much criticism or discouraging words. I work for a "business" and my degree is business."
