About our speaker Jeff Brown, by Craig Kilford, Chair of the Programs Committee.

I saw Jeff speak recently and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.  The thing I enjoyed most was the way he told his ‘authentic story’.  One of his stories came from his time at Apple in the early 1980’s, when Steve Jobs asked him to report back on what the year 2000 would look like.  Jeff’s career has meandered in very interesting ways that have lead to an overall focus on authenticity and happiness, which I’m sure members will be able to relate to, and will find inspirational.  I thought Jeff would be a perfect person to speak during the dinner after the career fair.
