September Highlights: Dr. Mentz’s Leadership in Asia
In September, Dr. George Mentz represented the AAPM at the Global Economic Forum in Asia, where
he engaged with business leaders, government officials, and educational experts. His participation included
speaking on critical topics of global economic growth and innovation. In addition to his forum presentations, Dr.
Mentz taught MBA courses to future leaders, focusing on executive education and advanced skill specializations.
He also met with local mayors and officials to discuss the importance of executive education and the impact of
specialized skills training on economic development. These high-level meetings further solidify the AAPM's role as
a key partner in driving international business success through top-tier certifications and leadership
programs.
