New Year, New Vision ...Here We Go!

Last year was a big year. Claremore Collective assembled as a young professionals association in January 2016 as a workforce retention initiative of the Claremore Industrial and Economic Development Authority. The association focuses on representing the interests of young professionals in five key areas-- Attraction, Arts and Entertainment, Development, Government Relations, and Next Gen Leadership. 

The organization adheres to a calendar year with leadership advancing annually. The inaugural year focused on a phased approach consisting of:

• PHASE I - Attraction / Assembly / Awareness
  Attracting young professionals through "Spring Sessions" and Monthly Mixers
  
  
• PHASE II - "Make Your Mark" and "Collective Voice"
  Identifying the needs and desires of young professionals and issues opposing the future growth of the community. Results were compiled into a strategic plan that focuses the efforts of the organization for 2016-17 as new leadership is appointed. 
  
  
• PHASE III - Transition and Celebration
  Developing and executing the Collective Voice (strategic plan), endorsing and backing initiatives, recruiting next layer of leadership. 

Claremore Collective kicks off the new year at the Will Rogers Memorial Museum on Thursday, January 26th at 5:30pm.
