YPCC 2018

Cascade Engineering is hosting a one-day professional development conference for young professionals of color in West Michigan on Thursday, August 2^nd, 2018.  Last year, the conference convened over 200 young professionals of color at Devos Place Convention Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan. We are happy to have Spectrum Health return this year as the Platinum Sponsor and BL²END (Business Leaders Linked to Encourage New Directions), as the Exclusive Young Professional Partner whose mission directly aligns with the purpose and intent of this conference.

Dr. Bill Pink, President of Grand Rapids Community College and educator for over 25 years, will keynote the conference, inspiring young professionals to design a path for personal and professional growth, empowered with the knowledge that their evolution as young leaders won’t always be linear.  In addition to the keynote, participants will have the opportunity to engage in small break-out sessions with local leaders focusing on building skill sets, networks and pathways to success.
