AFCEA Bethesda’s Emerging Leaders kick off another exciting program year on Thursday, November 14th, with the return of Fed Talks & Headshots. As the first installment of this year's ProDev series, Fed Talks & Headshots has been intentionally curated to suit all your professional development needs: gain valuable career insights, expand your network, get inspired, and update your professional image!

Fed Talks & Headshots will feature five prominent Fed Talk speakers who will provide experiential knowledge and insight on navigating your career, pivoting from failure to opportunity, overcoming obstacles, and appreciating differences. The event will also feature a professional photographer to snap new headshots—perfect for updating your LinkedIn profile, company bio, or personal branding.

After the talks, enjoy an engaging networking segment dedicated to connecting with peers, industry leaders, and potential mentors in a relaxed yet buzzing atmosphere. 

The ProDev series is committed to encouraging vertical and horizontal professional connections to propel emerging leaders in government and industry to the next phase of their career journeys. We welcome folks from all career levels, fields, and experiences to attend this event and leave with a new professional headshot, career insights, and new or renewed professional connections.
