OTTAWA, Ill. – Encouraging young adults around her district to become involved in shaping the future of Northwest Illinois communities, state Rep. Amy “Murri” Briel, D-Ottawa, will host a kick-off of the Emerging Professionals Council at her Ottawa district office Friday, April 25, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. The Emerging Professionals Council is for local residents ages 17-29 years old, and is an initiative led by Briel for students, emerging professionals, and young leaders to connect and advocate for issues affecting younger generations.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for high school grads, college students and young professionals to get together and discuss hyperlocal issues that impact our neighborhoods across Northwest
Illinois,” said Briel. “I look forward to promoting this council — these young adults are our future leaders, and engaging with them on issues affecting our younger generations brings such important perspective to what we need to prioritize in our communities.”
Constituents interested in participating in the council will have the opportunity to network with local leaders, businesses, and organizations while participating in policy discussions, research,
and developing solutions for the future. Briel’s district office is located at 628 Columbus Street, Suite #408 in Ottawa. Light refreshments will be provided. Those interested are encouraged to RSVP by emailing LJackson.staterepbriel76@gmail.com.
