We look forward to this opportunity to learn firsthand from the leaders of tomorrow and gain a better understanding of their thoughts and concerns about the future,“ said Kit Jensen, ideastream Chief Operating Officer.
The Summit is expected to address important topics for young people, including financial literacy, professional skills, life skills, post-high school transition, and health and wellness.
