*************************
The Strive Young Professionals Group (YPG) aims to assist young professionals between the ages of 19 and 40 who are seeking meaningful professional development initiatives, networking opportunities, and community interaction within Sault Ste. Marie and the surrounding Algoma region.
The organization’s annual Algoma Visionary Awards (AVA) Gala, which is scheduled for Jan. 10, 2025, at 6 p.m., will award 17 individuals for their incredible efforts in leadership, community engagement, professional achievement, volunteerism, and mentorship. The Co-Presenting Sponsors for the Gala are SooToday and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG).
