22 Sixth Edition Marquis Who’s Who INSIGHT LELIA L. HACKETT, EDD Chief Executive Officer Ultimate Business Resources Austin, TX https://www.linkedin.com/in/ dr-lelia-hackett-8668a9b/ What are two key behaviors/personality traits that allow you to be effective in your role? Communication and helping others reflect on who they are and what they developed. How do you feel your industry has changed/evolved? COVID-19 affected everything and changed how we reach out. The industry evolved; it's not as personal. Even if you're working with someone one-on-one on the computer, it's not the same as in-person. You can assess and develop a teaching plan more easily in person than online. What innovations or technologies do you feel will shape the future of your industry? I was a computer programmer, so my kids tease me; they say I don't utilize automation as much as I should. I believe in that personal touch instead of talking to someone online. RITA R. HOFFMAN, RAC Senior Fellow Regulatory Consultant Enhanced Compliance, Inc. Ashburn, VA https://www.linkedin.com/in/ritarhoffman/ How have you navigated disruptions in your industry to remain a top professional? Learning and teaching others about regulatory processes that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) goes through. You should remain aware of what’s happening with the world – 30% of every dollar you spend is part of what the FDA does. What is the most important issue/challenge you are dealing with in your industry? The industry doesn't pay attention to post-market products. It’s more focused on research and development and bringing the products to market. They’re not paying attention to what happens to it after it’s marketed. What excites you the most about your industry? People want to listen to what you have to say, and they spend time understanding what's going on; that doesn't happen often. JAMES E. HUMPHREVILLE Music Director, Conductor Emeritus Danbury Symphony Orchestra Danbury, CT danburymusiccentre.org/artistic_staff/james-humphreville/ How have you navigated disruptions in your industry to remain a top professional? Being a conductor, as I told somebody once, is the last bow work for dictators. When it came right down to it, I would determine what we played and how we played it. It’s not a democratic situation, to say the least, but we all knew that. How do you feel your industry has changed/evolved? As I was growing up, the industry started using recordings, and professional musicians were getting shafted. In the 50s, my wife and I would go to musicals in New York, and there would be big orchestras in the pit, but as time went on, the orchestras got smaller and smaller as they got more electronic devices. For music in general it’s fine, but for the professional musicians it’s not.
