YP International Summit 2008
On September 25-27th 145 young leaders from 80 young professional organizations representing 30 states gathered in Cocoa Beach to address the generational leadership gap and engage in dialogue around “cool” communites and the attraction and retention of young talent in our communities.
Young Professionals of Brevard was proud to host this summit in partnership with the Brevard Workforce Development Board, Inc. The summit was led by Next Generation Consulting, a market research firm committed to engaging the next generation.
