Beyond The BlackBerry: Connecting for professional and community growth

Join the CYP CLUB as we partner with the Mentoring Center of Central Ohio (MCCO) for a special networking and professional development event on Tuesday, April 27th at The Columbus Foundation. Learn ways to fulfill your personal mission for career growth and making a difference in our community with insights from a panel of young professionals, led by Derek Grosso, President & Founder of the CYP CLUB.

The Panelists:
• Kristin Grosso, Marketing Manager for The Pizzuti Companies

• Shelly Lewis, Manager of Volunteer Programs at Limited Brands
• Isiah D. Harris, Price Waterhouse Coopers LLP
• Sharnnia Artis, Ph.D., creator of "Moving from Ordinary to Extraordinary"

We'll focus on questions such as:
• What should be my priorities for networking if I want to grow professionally and make a difference?
• Could a mentor help me? How do I find a mentor?
• How do I get engaged with my company’s involvement in corporate citizenship and the community?
