Flagstaff Young Professionals hosted their 2nd Annual Mentoring Event “Invest In Your Future� last month. Nine local leaders in our community came together to coach, guide and inspire almost 60 Young Professionals in an interactive round table discussion about how to become successful in their careers. Each mentor brought different experiences and a unique perspective on what it takes to get where you want to be in life. The subjects discussed were beneficial and diverse including how to create a work/life balance, how to manage different personalities, switching careers, working with millennials and much more. The Young Professional attendees were engaged the entire time vetting quality questions to enable them to better their careers.

You can refer a young professional that wants to develop their career and get them to become a part of this great organization. The membership is $19.95 a year for Chamber member employers to enroll their team. Non Chamber members are charged $39.95 to enroll. Please contact Cassity Smith at csmith@flagstaffchamber.com if you have any questions or would like to sign up for membership.
There were many chamber businesses that invested in their own employees by sending them to the event. Employers saw that this was a professional development opportunity for sharing and learning in a designed and structured environment with fast-paced momentum. Investing in their emerging leaders and allowing them to attend this motivating session assisted them in their current roles within their company.
