My First Executive Mentor Meeting

Last Thursday night, when I went to my BA100 class, I attended the Executive Mentor Kick-off. At this meeting all the BA100 students, including myself, learned that we would be pairing up with an executive that is actually working in the real world, who could teach us about the business world from their perspective. All of the mentors were introduced and then we broke off into groups to get to know our mentors better. My mentor is Ralph Litolff. He a public accountant, who owned his own accounting firm, and then was asked to merge with Bourgeois Bennett, with whom he is now a partner. He is a graduate from Loyola University. Mr. Litolff, is also involved in many volunteer organizations, such as the Louisiana Restaurant Association and the Greater New Orleans Hotel and Lodging Association. After hearing from Mr. Litolff, I decided that I would like to possibly receive an internship with his company out of this program, and to also better my understanding of my Accounting major and what the job itself entails.
After going through this mentor program, it will hopefully not only build up my resume', but also help me in applying for jobs, and eventually lead to my success as not only a business person, but as a business leader.
