Join us as we kick off Young Professionals Week (August 11–16) with a dynamic Leadership Panel Discussion featuring local nonprofit executives and elected officials. This thought-provoking event will explore the theme: “How can young professionals engage civically and make a meaningful impact in our community?” Designed to inspire and empower the next generation of civic leaders, the panel will dive into pathways for community involvement—from public leadership and board service to grassroots engagement and advocacy.
Whether you're looking to take your first step into civic life or deepen your existing impact, this event offers a valuable opportunity to hear directly from regional leaders and connect with peers who share a commitment to making a difference.
