November 3, 2023

On October 27, Virtual Enterprises International Students attended the Long Island Leadership Conference where student executives from 70 schools across Long Island gathered to learn about and explore key leadership characteristics alongside mentor-leaders in their fields. 

C-Suite members from each of Sayville’s three firms were in attendance. 

Discussions around emotional intelligence, leadership, and effective problem solving, along with the networking opportunities, made for an exciting kick off to the Long Island VE school year. 

Students and firms are now preparing for their Long Island trade show at LIU in January!
