From meter reader to chairman and CEO of a major utility company is an incredible trip up a corporate ladder, but for an African-American man, whose journey up the ladder began during segregation, his was a rise that was so outrageous that it was beyond even imagining.
However, this is the story of Ron Holt, who The Community Voice recognized last month as a Corporate Trailblazer is a story that offers lessons for everyone, no matter their stage or current position in life.
Ron has agreed to share his story before a live audience of friends, fans and young upstarts during an event “Conversations with Ron Holt, to be held on Mon., Nov. 18, 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Kansas Leadership Center, 325 E. Douglas, Wichita. The event is free and open to the public but reservations are requested because space is limited.

Ron will be interviewed by Junetta Everett, another corporate trailblazer, who recognizes how Holt opened doors for her and others. The conversation will be followed by a question and answer segment, open for public participation.
In addition to the conversation and recognition of Holt, The Voice will also recognize its five 2024 Corporate Standouts: Bradley Dyer, Jr., Ricki Ellison, LaShonda Garnes, Moji Rosson and John Rolfe.
