The 2009 National Exposition was held in Philadelphia, PA May 11th and 12th. In attendance at the career booth were Lowe’s employees representing corporate, distribution and stores were Mark Clark, Wayne Packer, Mary Beth Posluszy, Dan Tucker, Dianne Hahn, Pete Medrano, Holly Hill and Alicia Brown. Judging at the Semi-final and Final Rounds of Competition were Larry Stone, Bernie Smith and Wayne Crowley. Larry, Bernie and Wayne, visited our career booth prior to the start of the competition, talking with staff, students and faculty. Larry also tried out our basketball hoop game (which was a new addition this year). He showed great athletic skill and a competitive spirit as he showed us how it was done. The recruiting made the obligatory trip to South Philly to have an authentic cheese-steak at Geno's.
There were over 3,000 SIFE students from colleges and universities around the country (winners of their Regional event), who had come to compete for a chance to represent the U.S. at the World Cup in Berlin, Germany. This year’s Winner was Flagler College from St. Augustine, FL.
We met a lot of talented students and are currently working them into our process with the corporate, supply chain, regional and college positions that might be a good fit. Thanks to everyone for their support of SIFE!
