“ “In the darkest hour of my 35-year Cable career, I reached out to inform colleagues of my unexpected em-ployment status. Within 30 minutes, I had 3 calls with leads that resulted in the position I have today. They were all from managers that knew about me because of my active role in SCTE. Now that’s value!”
