Young Professional Statewide Impact Survey

We are asking for your input! During this unprecedented time in our lives, and constant change, we want to make sure we are providing you with all the support that you need. We have joined together with other young professional groups and organizations across the state to develop a coalition to share resources, best practices, and to stay informed of what is happening on the outside, while we all stay in. We acknowledge that we are only as strong as our members, and we want to hear from you! We have developed a very brief survey, and ensure that all individual responses will remain anonymous. This information will inform future programming offered, what support to advocate for from community leaders, local chambers, and the business community.

Thank you very much for your time and sharing about your current situation. Please feel free to forward this to any of your colleagues, friends, or family members who are young professionals living in Connecticut!
