About this event
Today’s talented young workers don’t just want a cool place to live – they want to feel connected to each other and to the community. A number of economic development organizations and chamber of commerce are helping these workers get grounded where they live by creating young professional networks. These networks benefit both their members and the community by building leadership skills and encouraging volunteerism, helping attract native residents back to live, contributing to community revitalization, and enhancing the quality of life.
Join IEDC on February 18, 2010, to learn how to develop a young professional network in your community. Molly Foley and Greg Hilton will:
- Describe how to create and sustain a young professional network
- Outline the pitfalls and unexpected benefits
- Discuss how to connect young professionals network to economic development
