Cast Your Vote, Cast Your Voice

Join YPG on April 25th at Clasico Sarasota to learn more about the three candidates running for two City Commission seats! FREE ADMISSION, but RSVPs are requested: https://www.sarasotachamber.com/events/YPGs-Cast-Your-Vote-Cast-Your-Voice-3743/details

Even if you can’t vote in the Sarasota city elections, the chance are you work, eat, and/or network here are high- and the chance that the decisions made by the City Commission impact you now and in the future are even higher! So whether you can cast a vote or not, cast your voice so that your thoughts and ideas can be heard by the people who need to hear them the most!

The purpose of the event is two-fold: so you can meet the candidates, and so that they can hear from you! This is a great chance to network with young professionals and city leaders. We ask that when you RSVP for the event, you also send in a question for the Q&A session. The questions will solely be from members of YPG to ensure that the focus stays on millennials and that our ideas, concerns, and questions have the chance to be addressed.
For more information, contact Mimi Cirbusova at mcirbusova@sarasotachamber.com or (941) 556-4038.
