Young Leaders
Join our Young Leaders Committee
The SITE Young Leaders’ Program is a Global community of industry professionals aged 35 years or younger. By participating in the SITE Young Leaders’ Program, individuals will receive education and networking opportunities that appeal directly to those who are new to the industry. Our mission: to create a strong group of individuals who will not only become leaders in SITE and their local SITE Chapters, but in the gtreater industry as a whole.
SITE Chicago’s Young Leaders Committee has been busy planning for the year ahead, and with a total of five committee members (and more looking to join!), they have more power behind them than ever before! The growth the committee has seen within the past year, both in committee members as well as youn g leader attendance numbers, is a true testatment to the rise of the industry’s net generation of professionals. This rise in young leaders across the industry, and in the workforce in general, has inspired the Young Leaders Committee to focus their efforts this year on briding the industry’s generational gap through educational and networking opportunities.
If you have questions about the Young Leaders program or would like to support a Young Leaders initiative, please reach out to Brittany Cerrillos, Vice President of Young Leaders at SITE Chicago, youngleaders@sitechicago.org.
