So much fun talking about the Emerge Summit with KTXL FOX40 News this morning! Being a young professional, moving to a new city, starting a new job and having no connections was daunting for me. Through programs like Metro EDGE and my role at the Sacramento Metro Chamber I was able to make connections that have helped me grow and develop into the professional that I am today! The Emerge Summit is just that in a one-day format! It's an opportunity for YP's to explore different interest, be inspired by regional leaders and practice fostering new connections. Tickets are still on sale through Tuesday 9/3 at 6pm- get yours before its too late! ??? Thursday, September 5 ? 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. (with an after party until 6:30 p.m.) ?? The Sofia, Home of B Street Theatre ?? Members—email [email protected] for your promo code! Looking to send 10+ members from your company? Email Savannah Fox at [email protected] Rukayatu ("Ruky") T.
