Columbus Impact Academy

Time is absolutely flying by and I am loving the experience with Columbus Impact Academy halfway to graduation! In September, Laura Klarich nominated me and I decided to go outside of my comfort zone and join this group. It has pushed me to get more involved with my community and learn more about myself with every event. This is my reminder to everyone who is questioning if you have enough time to do the thing, just do the thing! It might just turn out to be fun ??

ICYMI: Our October sessions were ?? From “Finding Your Place & Purpose” to “Getting to Know Columbus,” the Columbus Impact Academy was all over the city having fun and making new connections. Special thanks to our speakers and facilitators this month, including Christian Espinoza, PhD, Christopher Wyche, Doug Motz, Felicia Wilson, Jeffrey Price, Mike Feist, Nic Fortkamp, and Simon'e Williams, MBA! #CYPClub #columbusimpactacademy #cbusimpactacademy #leadership

Last week, the Columbus Young Professionals (CYP) Club hosted a sold-out Emerging Leaders’ Summit in collaboration with HRACO Human Resources Association of Central Ohio and the Columbus Chamber of Commerce at Grange Insurance in downtown Columbus! ?? We kicked things off with an inspiring fireside chat with five mayors from across Central Ohio — Michael Bivens (Whitehall), Laurie Jadwin (Gahanna), Emily A. Keeler, MA, CTA, ECI (Grandview Heights), Ben Kessler (Bexley), and Kenneth L. Wright, PMP, MPM (Westerville) — where they shared their journeys into politics, how to get involved, and the issues impacting today’s young professionals. We also heard from storytellers of all ages and life stages about their paths to leadership during our “Leadership in Real-Time Talks.” Afterwards, we facilitated a meet and greet with young professional organizations, ERGs/BRGs, and auxiliary boards — representing 35 different organizations — to showcase the amazing work others are doing and to look ahead to collaborating in 2025. Thank you to everyone who was involved in the success of our 11th annual summit, from the host committee to our generous sponsors to our esteemed speakers and all 200 attendees! #cypclub #cypclubcares #leadership #thankyou
