👷‍♀️👷‍♂️ WHO IS NEXT GEN?

You’ve heard the name… but do you know who we are? 👀

We’re Charlotte-DeSoto Building Industry Association's Next Gen, a group of young professionals and emerging leaders in the building industry who are ready to connect, learn, grow, and have a little fun along the way. 🏗️🍻

We’re builders.
We’re designers.
We're engineers.
We’re sales professionals.
We’re tradespeople.
We’re suppliers.
We’re business owners.
We're leaders.

But most importantly, we’re building the next generation of the building industry together. 🤝

Next Gen is about creating relationships that go beyond a business card, learning from the people around us, getting involved in our community, and creating opportunities for the next generation of industry professionals.

And yes… we know how to have a good time too. 😉🍹

🚢 Like our upcoming Charlotte Harbor Sunset Cruise!

So whether you’re brand new to the industry, growing your career, or ready to get more involved...

There’s a place for you at Next Gen!

Happy Fry-Day!
It's time to settle one of life's most important debates...

Which fry reigns supreme?
🥔 Crinkle
🧇 Waffle
🍟 Straight
🌀 Curly

Bonus Question: Do tater tots count as fries... or are they in a league of their own?
