About Metro EDGE
Launched in 2009 as a program of the Sacramento Metro Chamber, we represent the best and brightest of the Sacramento region’s up-and-comers. You know, the tech-savvy social-media mavens. The green-conscious innovators and entrepreneurs. The texters and the Tweeters. The movers and the shakers.
Our Goal: To Engage, Develop, Give and Empower the 40 and under young leaders of Sacramento.
Metro EDGE’s 2010 Vision: “The Sacramento Region is a National Destination”
Rooted in over a century of the Chamber’s commitment to the creative and economic development of Sacramento, Metro EDGE stands as a beacon for the area’s future business leaders. Did you know that with 2.2 million people, the River City is California’s fourth largest metropolitan area? And it’s growing. At Metro EDGE, we are that growth. We are that future.
At our 2010 planning retreat the Leadership Council identified key interest areas that we’ve decided to focus our time, effort, energy and activities upon:
- Supporting Entrepreneurship within our Membership and the Region (Ex: Profile Events: Profile of Entrepeneurs, EDGEucational Forums: Networking in the Community)
- Clean/ Green Industry and Events (Ex: Green Crawl Events, Profile Event: Green Companies)
- Encouraging Regional Growth (Ex: EDGEucational Forum: Revitalizing Downtown, Growth Issues Awareness/ Education)
- Cultivating the Youth of Sacramento into the Next Generation of Young Leaders (Ex: CSUS Educational Opportunity Program Support, Participation at Local Career Fairs)
It’s a great time to be young. And it’s an even better time to be in Sacramento. So what are you waiting for? Visit our membership page and step up to the EDGE today.
