With excitement we kicked off our official LINK: Connecting Emerging Leaders group on January 28th with a fun logo unveiling at Jasper Winery. Over 45 people were in attendance. The LINK will serve as a connection between the Des Moines Jaycees and the E-S Chamber to provide a variety of professional development, social, community service, and networking opportunities with the two groups.
On February 12th, LINK members were invited to attend the kick-off of the Jaycees Next Step Workshop Series. Tiffani Tokarz, a professional development coach, gave a great presentation on knowing and marketing your personal brand. She talked about building from the inside out to maximize your full potential. The Des Moines Jaycees' Next Step workshop series, will emphasize five focal points for living a full, healthy life: Employment, Finances, Physical Wellness, Home Life, and Community Involvement.
