Success

Community stability

Economic development
-
Public safety
-
And more!
This is an education event like none you have experienced before!
Three energetic, dynamic speakers, Dr. Jesse Register, Jay Steele, and Rita McDonald, will interact with the audience about how you as a young professional can get involved and how the success of our education system not only affects the success of economic development but also your public safety, overall community stability, and poverty reduction.
Our young professional leaders identified K-12 education as a main topic of interest for our community. As young professionals, you have the ability to motivate our community to action and get involved!
