Press Release – The Takeover Networking Event

Repeat after me, The Takeover is real.

The Takeover is a networking event happening Monday May 16, 16 starting at 6:00pm at one of the premiere locations in New Jersey’s Valley Arts District; ValleyArts Firehouse Gallery. 580 Forest Street Orange, New Jersey. This is the first of a seasonal event was inspired by the growth and continued conversation on what will make the Valley Arts District pop?! 

MAKE ROOM & INVEST IN MILLENNIALS AKA YOUNG PROFESSIONAL.

Following in ORNG Ink (OutReaching to the Next Generation), this event is an effort to cultivate the young millennial professionals already beginning to make their mark inNew Jersey.  This event is open to young professionals based in Essex County.

The Takeover is a way to engage, educate and excite its attendees about the future, and potential of this neighborhood. To meet collaborators, and build a network, to purse their career in Orange and based in the Valley Arts District.  We want connections to be made, ideas for events, projects, businesses, etc. that can incorporate everyone’s brand and interests. Also finding ways to continue to cultivate the network we have.

Called the The Takeover because Patricia Rogers continues to be inspired by the number of young professionals in the Valley Arts District, and  in neighboring towns West Orange, East Orange, Maplewood and Montclair.  and most of all their ambition, drive and talent. This is a force and movement that can change the world.

This event supports emerging artists and active community participants. For those who can not attend the event, there will be plenty of follow-up material and coverage on the Masconsumption blog. There will also be another event planned for the end of the year. But you don’t want to miss this!

Through Primerica, Kirkland and his partners own a small financial brokerage firm aimed to help and educate millennials and young people on how money works, and more importantly how it can work for them. In addition to their website, www.youthfulwealth.com, they began hosting Millennial Mondays, a monthly networking event.  They developed Millennial Mondays to bring our fellow millennials together and to create an environment of encouragement so people can follow their dreams. We learned that people in our age bracket, 18-30 y/o, don’t really want to work like our parents did because we aren’t perceiving that as success. So we help people reach their career goals along with financial goals through our monthly networking events.
