Philosophy and History
Current launched this reading group to encourage young professionals to pursue professional development through reading.  The program offers participants a chance to network and to reflect on leadership, best practices, and other special topics pertinent to a variety of industries.  The program is also intended to provide an opportunity for young professionals to interact with area leaders who have significant work experience and are generally more advanced in their careers.
