Local business groups here in Fort Myers want to draw in young people in order to help strengthen the local economy and community. The age group ranges from 22-40, and this age group will be those who will carry on after the older group of leaders. Some think its just selfish to bring in young people just so that we ensure the continuation or success in a particular community. Others think its great because they have seen so many young professionals move away because they felt left out because they were not older.The Greater Fort Myers chamber started a program "Advancing Business Leaders" about a year ago. It provides young professionals with networking events and a leadership program. It has many up and coming young professionals, but many older members are involved as well. So now we have the best of both worlds. All we needed to do was come together, Young and old.
