What is ?
Economic development is highly collaborative—but early-career professionals don’t have enough informal avenues for networking.
This network is designed to bridge connections between neighborhood development orgs, EDC, consulting, architecture, planning and real estate professionals. By connecting with a crowd diverse as this, our events can offer unique professional pathways, collaborations, and exposure to the city's future leaders.
The Young Professionals Network seeks to foster this organic and diverse atmosphere by letting individuals connect in a social, welcoming space.
