Greater Rochester Chamber launches young professionals initiative
A new initiative designed to empower the region’s young professionals has been launched by the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce.
Greater ROC Young Professionals (GRYP) unites two established young professionals organizations — Roc City Coalition and Future Leaders Advisory Council (FLAC) — under the Chamber’s umbrella.
The aim is to create a cohesive and impactful program for young professionals (ages 18 to 40), leveraging the Chamber’s network and programmatic expertise to provide opportunities for connections and growth.
The Greater Rochester Chamber is the region’s largest business advocacy organization, working to provide leadership in policy, workforce development and partnership initiatives. The Chamber says that incorporating young professional into the broader mission ensures that the next generation of leaders is engaged in the growth and transformation of the region.
“The launch of Greater ROC Young Professionals marks a significant investment in the future of our community,” Chamber president and CEO Bob Duffy said in a news release. “Today’s young professionals are leading the way in driving the innovation and progress that has been part of Greater Rochester’s DNA for generations.
“Greater Rochester Chamber and GRYP will ensure that young professionals continue to have opportunities to learn, grow, connect and shape our region’s growth and success.”
A program kickoff social is scheduled for 4:30 pm.-6 p.m. on March 13 at Radio Social.
