Huge thanks to NSWCPD Technical Director Nigel Thijs, for participating in our fireside chat yesterday! His leadership lessons and guidance for all people working in the defense industry was refreshing, insightful, and invaluable. Moderated by Women in Defense Liberty Chapter Board Member Candice Fawley, this informative event brought together men and women in the greater Philadelphia region.

Nigel left us with some straightforward career advice:
✅ Be confident. Apply for that job!
✅ Learn to be strategic before you need to be strategic.
✅ Treat people well. We’re all humans.
✅ Forgive yourself because you are not going to be perfect.

Also, a heartfelt thank you to our sponsors: Parts Life, Inc., Delphinus Engineering, Inc., and ASR International for making these events possible – your support is crucial to our mission of fostering dialogue and mentorship.
