RYT NETWORK CELEBRATES 1 YEAR
Feature
On the horizon As it enters its second year, the RYT Network continues to gain momentum. It’s also evolving as organizers assess what worked well and what wasn’t as effective during the first year. The RYT Summit – a half-day conference of workshops and speakers – will definitely be back, along with industry tours and a variety of networking, social and professional development opportunities.
Malea Lohmeyer, 25, Marketing Manager for Rochester Motor Cars, not only participates but also advocated for her employer to sponsor the RYT Network. “One thing that’s awesome about Rochester Motor Cars is that it promotes professional development internally and externally. When I saw this sponsorship opportunity I saw that it aligned with our values… My leadership team was super excited and felt this was a great way to not only support others in
the community but to have another tool we can offer our own tweam members to grow professionally as well.”
New opportunities are also on the horizon. Currently, Henneman is coordinating new interest-based small groups like a coffee club, a book club and a recreational club. As it expands and grows in new directions, the focus continues to be on helping young professionals grow and thrive. Said Henneman: “The program helps to make sure we have the right leaders in 10, 15 or 20 years. Investing in young professionals is a great start when it comes to future of Rochester!”
