our speakers - all young professionals, from an array of fields (see our summit program >> for names and bios) - were asked to serve as stewards of their community and think in terms of we rather than i; they presented the “lay of the land” on:

“There are several committed individuals

who want to see our city rise to her potential.

The apathy we sometimes see isn’t the total picture.”

-a.a., summit participant

what did you learn

most about at the

summit?

“How many people there are devoted to making this city work

and to creating a thriving economy and

lifestyle here.”-c.k., summit participant

“How amazing our young professional

community is.”-m.r.-a., summit participant

“We have a really exciting opportunity in front of us with all

these diverse engaged inspiring people.”

-e.b.,, summit participant

Page 4: MiABQ Citywide Young Professionals Summit Program Summary

“The chance to mobilize young people for the

common good.”-t.m., summit participant

what opportunities for our city are

you most excited about?

“Everything! But probably most around education. I want this to be a great place for

my kids..”-a.a., summit participant

“The opportunity to see people who are downtown love the downtown and be

committed to its growth and development. My caution is that “revitalization” is a code word

for gentrification. I was heartened to hear that inclusion, justice, equity and equality were also

themes of the conference… My hope is that these are main concerns for young leaders who

are committed to creating a prosperous and vital downtown.”

-j.r., summit participant

“Changing the view of older people that our generation is not amazing. Bringing affordable urban options to downtown and other city center neighborhoods. That government officials are listening.”-s.d., summit participant

“Access to resources. Policy change.

Embracing our unique culture, healing old

wounds, strengthening heritage for future

generations to enjoy.”- c.l., summit participant

Page 5: MiABQ Citywide Young Professionals Summit Program Summary

where do you think we can

make the most change or impact?

“education, policy by voting, making noise.”-anonymous, summit participant

“galvanizing our generation.”-s.d., summit participant

“electoral politics.”-t.m., summit participant

“We need a vision. Something audacious, lofty, maybe impossible. Something to hold up and say this is where we want to live. Beyond the small details and obstacles. And something our leadership can get behind and push forward. The most livable city in the US... The most resilient... The most sustainable... The best education anywhere...The best arts scene... The most entrepreneurs...” -e.b., summit participant

“I think the city’s efforts to support economic development through investing in start-ups and companies with the ability to scale are wonderful. It would be great to see more small business employers in New Mexico. I think we can make the most change by continuing to support these efforts, as well as efforts to ensure affordable and low-income housing options, to include single-person residences and family residences within in all of our communities.” -j.r., summit participant

“downtown revitalization. economic growth. resources regarding poverty and mental health.” -c.l., summit participant

“being different, being uniquely albuquerque, creating walk-able urban areas that are aesthetically interesting. thinking different to grow.” -c.k., summit participant

“getting the good word out about the changes in our city.” -m.r.-a., summit participant

using the information and input provided by our summit attendees as the foundation, miabq will conduct a citywide data collection project and craft our fourth set of policy recommendations to the city of albuquerque -- with an eye towards holistic quality of life issues facing young professionals and their families. we anticipate completion in late 2016.

miabq is also planning to coordinate a debate for mayoral candidates leading up to the 2017 municipal elections; it, too, will focus on issues facing young professionals and their families.

miabq will host the next biannual citywide young professionals summit in the spring of 2018.
