Corona prevented us from launching the Y-ADM community and presenting the Y-Board at the ADM reception in March or during a live event later on. As our personal and business lives happened mainly online lately, we decided to bring our young ADM professionals together during an online speed dating session, and it worked!
At first nobody knew what to expect (neither did we) but very quickly everybody engaged in vivid conversations about their jobs, apps, houses, vacation plans… as if they had met in person. After 5 rounds of meeting new people, everybody acknowledged that they had met interesting people and learned new things. Isn’t this what “share & connect” is all about ?
With the Y-Community, ADM wants to
- help young professionals integrate in the existing business network and learn the value of professional networking
- provide them an own network of young professionals from different types of companies with whom they can connect, from whom they can learn
- give them the opportunity to try out new things in a safe environment and to acquire new skills
The ADM Y-board represents the Y-Community in the Board and ensures that the ADM activities are “Y-proof”; both in terms of content as in terms of formats. Members of the Y-community are encouraged to actively take part in the set-up of (Y-)ADM activities, to be a sounding board for the ADM organisation.
Eager to know more, to be engaged in an interesting (and fun) community? Just send a mail to yboard@adm.be!
