LBPD Youth Leadership Academy

Stefanie Gillett, Public Relations Manager for SHP, speaking to LBUSD students at the LBPD Youth Academy

SHP’s Public Relations Manager, Stefanie Gillett, was invited to join a great group of local leaders, representing many different industries, to speak to a group of high school students to help develop skills and expose them to new opportunities. This special event was organized and hosted by the Long Beach Police Foundation for their Youth Leadership Academy.

Stefanie was asked to explain a little about the oil industry, Signal Hill Petroleum as a company, her role and responsibilities, and most importantly, how she got to where she is today. After giving a quick presentation everyone broke off into small groups to allow the students a more one-on-one interaction and the opportunity to ask questions.

SHP believes strongly in educating and empowering our youth. Thank you to everyone who participated, especially the Long Beach Police Foundation. We appreciate the opportunity to be a part of this amazing program.
