The rise of the young professional

Model D highlights the many new young professionals groups working to connect and engage the next generation of leadership in Detroit. These include

• Leadership Next (sponsored by the United Way)
  
• Detroit Synergy
• Fusion (sponsored by the Detroit Regional Chamber)
  
• Detroit Young Professionals
