Many of my friends have asked me how I got involved with The Cleveland Professional 20/30 Club and this is exactly it! I joined the 3rd Cohort of Welcome to Cleveland under Melinda McNutt’s fun leadership, and was introduced to 35 incredible people immediately. Right after things simmered down from 2020, as an extrovert I was certainly ready to spread my wings again. After moving back to the city, many of my friends in NE Ohio had either moved away, began families, or we were simply just too busy to make times work. This club shifted my mentality from not just connecting with other young professionals, but to building a community to support one another and continue growing and helping the city of Cleveland. Some of these members became my very closest friends and others even went on to get involved with the Board. As the President-Elect of the club, it makes my heart so happy to say that this organization truly gives back what you put in (and then some) and this is one of the best programs to start! If you’re worried about meeting people, don’t be - it’s a very warm environment where it all happens naturally. You don’t have to be brand new to Cleveland but you could find yourself in a time of life where you want to get to know the city and our club a bit better! This is your perfect chance! If you’re not interested, no problem - please help us spread the word to your employers! DM me for any questions or feedback 😊 https://lnkd.in/ejpf6HP6
