Survey to Help Shape Initiatives of W.Va. Young Professionals Group

Written by Jason Keeling on July 31, 2008

Generation West Virginia leaders are poised to attract and retain more young professionals, and the statewide group is working to better understand their target demographic, which includes those age 21 to 45. A survey has been launched to more clearly identify perceptions regarding social and professional opportunities in West Virginia, and readers across the Internet are invited to provide their feedback.

“For decades, West Virginia has experienced a ‘brain drain’ in losing our young talent to other parts of the country,” GWV’s Paul Daugherty said in a news release. “This survey will provide us with much-needed insight into what young professionals want and need in their local communities, neighborhoods and employment opportunities.”

“This information will enable Generation West Virginia to pursue appropriate policy initiatives or potential development opportunities, ultimately making West Virginia a better place to live and work,” he continued.
