4 Reasons You Should Attend the Young Leaders Community Kickoff

Join fellow Young Leaders in Charlotte on Thursday, April 12, at the LaCa Projects to hear from keynote speaker Jon Davis and network with other young professionals. You’ll leave feeling energized, inspired and ready to take action to make difference in our community.

 

Here are the top four reasons you should attend:

 

1- An inspirational speaker

Jon Davis, senior consultant at The Center for Intentional Leadership, will lead the group in an engaging conversation on the impact young professionals can have within Charlotte. “I think solving our toughest community challenges are going to take fresh ideas.  I love the energy and engagement that comes with working with groups like Young Leaders,” said Jon.

 

2- A unique venue

LaCa Projects recently celebrated its fifth year of bringing Latin American art to the Southeast. With more than 8,000 square feet, it’s a space like no other in Charlotte, with a display of contemporary Latin American art. LaCa Projects offers the perfect, unique backdrop for our Community Kickoff.

 

3- A chance to mix and mingle

Mix and mingle with Young Leaders members who share their dedication for advancing community solutions and take part in professional development through unique networking events, hands-on volunteering opportunities and innovative leadership training throughout the year. Plus, your ticket includes light hors d’oeuvres and an open bar.

 

4- A sponsor who cares

The Community Kickoff is presented by TIAA who is celebrating their Centennial Anniversary this year through the 100 Days of Difference campaign. Jarian Kerekes, director of corporate social responsibility at TIAA, said: “I have the benefit of working for a company that encourages our young leaders to be active thought leaders in the communities where they live. Personally, I find a great deal of satisfaction in connecting young leaders to create change and make a difference in our community.”
