Here is a snippet from the presentation:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Benefits of a CAD Management Career Ladder<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Ladder is easy to climb (to a point).  Going from one rung to another can be a methodical process.  Moving to the next level is a fairly straight forward progression.\n<\/li>\n<li>The Ladder is extensible.  You can move beyond CAD Management to other areas of technology management and leadership.\n<\/li>\n<li>The Ladder is transferable.  You will gain and use very transferable skills during your<br \/>progression and tenure as CAD Manager.\n<\/li>\n<li>The career cannot be outsourced.  Management is not like CAD Drafting.  Some one in another country cannot take your place.  Management is a hands-on, face to face, people interactive function.  Long distance CAD Management is tough. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I arrived in Las Vegas on Sunday for some pre AU events.
