MYRA DINGMAN VANDERVELDE ‘02, ‘04

LEADER DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST DELOITTE CONSULTING • VIRGINIA

I learned skills like culture building and succession planning to create more impact and engagement with our employees.

Dr. Myra Dingman Vandervelde chose Regent’s online program for the quality and flexibility. Its emphasis on business ethics and innovation also taught her real-world skills and a servicefirst approach to leadership: “Every day I feel like I’m making an impact at my organization by encouraging people to become ethical leaders,” Myra shares. Most importantly, she gets to help leaders become more positive role models both to staff members and to clients engaged in their professional service: “We have employees across the globe who are looking at our team and learning from them. So it’s crucial to be an ethical leader who impacts company culture from the top to the bottom.”
