Join YPM & the Minneapolis Regional Chamber’s Emerging Leaders for a fun evening of networking and a discussion on how to strategically advance your career using leadership skills developed from purpose driven volunteer work. Many early career professionals are eager to climb the leadership ranks within their company but can often be denied certain promotional opportunities because of their lack of experience. It’s a classic chicken vs. egg debate of “How am I supposed to get promoted to a leadership position if I first need leadership experience to get promoted?” Volunteer leadership is a great place to start.

During this event, hear from several successful emerging leaders share ways they strategically advanced their careers using leadership skills they developed through purpose driven volunteer work. Some examples include pro-bono services and serving on employee resource groups (ERGs), committees, task forces, boards, and commissions within business, nonprofit, and government organizations/associations.

Registration includes complimentary appetizers. Drinks will be available for purchase.

Join the YPM & Minneapolis Regional Chamber's Emerging Leaders for a fun evening of networking and discussion on preparing for management. Many young professionals are eager to get promoted but often times don't realize that managing people requires a totally different skillset from their individual contributor role. Without proper training, experience, and coaching, a newly appointed manager is not set up for success and runs the risk of negatively impacting everyone on their team. For this event, we'll learn some tips about how to tailor your own leadership development to where you are in your career and also hear some stories from other emerging leaders about how they were (or were not) prepared for management. 

Registration includes complimentary appetizers. Drinks will be available for purchase.
