Scott Elpers | LEADERSHIP WICHITA
What do you love most about your work?
The Wichita Regional Chamber of Commerce is the voice of the business community, which means I spend a significant amount of time with business and community leaders whose critical thinking abilities are unmatched.
What do you wish someone had told you during your career journey?
Your career path will undergo significant changes over time. As new technology and industries emerge and existing ones transform, your skill set and responsibilities will adapt and open new opportunities you never knew existed. It will allow you to explore different roles and opportunities, seeking to make a broader impact and contribute to meaningful projects.
What is non-negotiable for you?
Never say we do it this way because we’ve always done it this way. Nothing makes me want to change something like that exact phrase.
What is your most-used emoji?
So, I was misusing the peach emoji for the longest time.
What are you an expert in?
Do you ever get the same meme from four different people? I'm the first person who sent it to you. My meme game is strong.
What do you think the secret to a good life is?
Most stress and anxiety lives inside your head and can be avoidable. Do good work and be nice to people and the rest falls into place.
What do you do for fun or to recharge?
I sleep 8 hours every night. I don't care if I'm on vacation or if I have a huge deadline looming at work. Eight hours every night. I do not sacrifice sleep for anything.

What is your biggest pet peeve?
There is no need, under any circumstance, for more than one post on social media during a concert. No one is watching your five straight IG stories from the same concert.
