Valerie Mandel has received two awards at this year’s Florida Association of Colleges and Employers (FloridaACE) conference for her leadership in career and life planning.
Valerie Mandel, executive director of the Center for Career & Life Planning, received multiple honors at this year’s FloridaACE conference. She earned a Recognition Award for her many years of service and leadership on the board, including her time as president of the state association, and the President’s Award for her trusted leadership and mentorship in the state.
“The President’s Award was especially meaningful,” shares Mandel, “as it recognized the support I provided to the current president throughout the year as a trusted colleague, sounding board, and confidant. It was incredibly special to be acknowledged in that way.”
