Succesful Women Leaders in Business

This past Wednesday SHP’s VP of Community Relations and Real Estate Operations, Debra Russell, participated in a panel discussion titled, “A Conversation about Professional Development by Successful Women Leaders in Business”. The room was filled with lots of intriguing questions from the moderator, Councilwoman Suzie Price, and the Long Beach Young Professionals, the organization that hosted the event. Our very own Public Relations Manager, Stefanie Gillett, is currently the President of LBYP and helped plan the panel discussion.

Debra, along with the other successful female panelists, answered questions and provided insight on how they were able to earn their success and become prominent women not only in their company’s but also in their communities.

Debra is a perfect example of a succesful women leader as she is the driving force behind SHP’s public image and company morale. She has also been responsible for the planning and execution of multiple annual community events from the Long Beach Movies in the Park program to the Signal Hill Police Foundation. She has exponentially grown the company’s giving efforts, coordinating donations that support the education of the oil and gas industry, the teaching of ethical business practices, local police departments, parks and schools.

We are proud to have a strong female leader like Debra represent our community, company, and industry.
