Are There Enough Planners In The Pipeline?
August 18, 2008
"Where do you see yourself in five years?" It's the quintessential interview question, and in MeetingNews' most recent survey, we asked that question, and others, and found that most meeting planners--corporate, association, and independent--are in it for the long haul. Nearly all planners saw themselves in their jobs in a year's time; and 81 percent saw themselves remaining as planners in five years' time. And nearly half (49 percent) saw themselves in their planning role in 10 years' time.
