November 18: CEO, In-N-Out, Lynsi Martinez
On Tuesday, Nov 18th, 2008, we welcomed a "Mystery Guest Speaker" - the future CEO of In-N-Out, Lynsi Martinez. Her grandparents Harry and Esther Snyder opened the first In-N-Out restaurant back in 1948, and now today, the ownership position has been passed down to her. (She is the only heir of the company.) She shared many stories about the popular burger shop, and what it feels like to be in a very committed family and people oriented company. She was very kind and humble, and I think everyone present at the event enjoyed hearing stories from the woman that will be taking over one of the top fast food restaurants ever. At the end of the presentation, we opened up for Q&A and many students had the opportunity to ask questions, and get responses from the one who will be in charge of it all. Also, we raffled names and two lucky students won In-N-Out gift cards!
This was definitely a great event, and thank you to all who were able to come out!
Please continue to check our website for more information on up coming events!
