Wylecia Wiggs Harris, PhD, CAE, CEO of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and a renowned association executive and purpose-focused leader, joins the Six Degrees of Associations Podcast this week, presented by Big Red M. In this episode, hosted by Big Red M media consultant and podcast producer Casey Callanan, Dr. Harris discusses reaching what many might call the pinnacle of the association profession—serving as CEO of multiple large-scale, globally recognized non‑profit organizations—and she has done it all as a self‑proclaimed introvert, a topic she discusses at length in this compelling conversation.

She offers plenty of pearls of wisdom for those in our association industry who want to excel in leadership and management but feel uncomfortable engaging in crucial relationship-building activities like networking and socializing to make deeper connections.
