We’re proud to introduce Elevate, a professional group through the DeKalb County Economic Development Corporation (DCEDC), created to bring young professionals in DeKalb County together to collaborate, network, and grow together. While the DCEDC has hosted educational events in the past, this event marks Elevate’s very first educational networking program of 2026 and represents the launch of an intentional, community-driven professional development initiative. As we continue developing the Elevate program, we are seeking engaging professionals and emerging community leaders who are interested in shaping its future. Attendees are encouraged to share feedback, ideas, and creative input to help us grow a program that truly serves DeKalb County’s professional community.
