WEST CHESTER, Pa., Nov. 03, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Recently, Key Financial Inc. hosted their first ever “CEO for the Day”, where a local 12 year old was given the opportunity to shadow President and CEO Patti Brennan. The idea first came to Brennan after meeting Wyatt through the ‘Believe and Achieve’ program at the West Chester YMCA, where the two discussed how leaders lead, and the best ways to learn.

“We were thrilled to hear that Wyatt would be shadowing Patti as our CEO for the Day,” states Director of Communications Bernadette Hunter. “We wanted to make his experience at Key Financial as real and hands on as possible, so that he could leave with a real sense of what his future could hold.” Wyatt’s day was filled with various activities such as signing letters and delegating tasks to employees- he even had his own business card and parking spot! Patti and the team at Key Financial plan to turn the experience into an annual event, and urge other CEOs of companies in our community to host their own CEO for the Day.

“The experience was invaluable to everyone who participated in this event,” says president and CEO Patti Brennan. “It was wonderful to see the way everyone rallied together to make this day special. Our biggest hope is that this experience can create a ripple effect, inspiring other local community leaders to join in inspiring today’s youth.”
