Apply to receive funds to the Metro Chamber's 2015 Capitol to Capitol Program
A program of the Sacramento Metro Chamber, Metro EDGE provides opportunities for young professionals to engage with a diverse network, develop critical business skills, give back to our community, and empower themselves through education on issues affecting the Sacramento region. Engaging in signature Metro Chamber programs is a great way to advance these goals, yet, many young professionals are challenged by limited resources in their pursuit to gain the very resources they need to better their careers and communities.
To help young professionals experience the benefits Metro Chamber programs have provided for so many others, Metro EDGE has established an award program to gift funds to deserving EDGE members interested in participating.
The deadline to apply for funds to participate in the Metro Chamber's Capitol-to-Capitol program is March 23, so interested parties are on a tight deadline. Below are eligibility requirements and a link to apply.
