The next session of AMP’T - Advancing Modern Professionals for Tomorrow will be Sept. 29, 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. Advanced registration is required due to limited seating.

Our guest speaker will be Ron Holifield, CEO of Strategic Government Resources.

AMP’T is designed for Chamber members age 21-39 seeking to advance their career by learning from senior executives. More than just a meet and greet, attend and receive applicable advice from a senior executive willing to share their experience and answer questions.

If you have someone in your business or organization who falls in this age range, the Chamber encourages you to send them to receive real-world advice to enhance their career.

At each AMP’T session, the senior executive will discuss:

• Their career path
• What they look for in the younger generation when hiring/promoting
• Ways to advance a career

From the sharing of experiences and challenges, information and ideas, we hope to become an important resource for families and friends of those living with Alzheimber's or another form of dementia.
