St. Johns County and the local chamber of commerce are partnering to launch a new program for young professionals and other business-minded young people. The program, spearheaded by Aliyah Meyer, a business attraction specialist in St. Johns County’s economic development department, will provide networking and educational opportunities for people ages 21 to 40.

Program Details

Meyer, who is in her 20s herself, says she wants to provide the kind of resources to young professionals that she wishes were more available in the area without having to drive to Jacksonville. The program’s first event will be an opportunity to network with fellow young professionals, as well as get a better understanding about the future of the program.

Future plans include more networking opportunities, roundtable discussions and educational programming. The program’s first event is scheduled for 5:30 to 7 p.m. July 14 at Bronx House Pizza in Nocatee. Registration is now open, and space is not currently limited.
