Jobs Landed: Jessica Wayland

The Detroit Economic Club, founded in 1934, provides the platform for Fortune 100 CEOs, government officials and social leaders to speak at over 35 luncheons per year. It is also known as the premier networking forum for business professionals in Michigan and was recognized as one of the top 10 forums for CEOs to speak in the world. At the Detroit Economic Club, I am responsible for managing the organization's website, social media, advertising, media relations, fundraising and other special projects. In June 2009, the Detroit Economic Club convened The National Summit, a gathering of national business, government and academic leaders to discuss America's greatest challenges in Technology, Energy, Environment and Manufacturing. The Sunday before The National Summit, I organized the UnSummit - a gathering of next generation leaders from a variety of industries to discuss the four disciplines being addressed at The National Summit. Outside of work, I am involved in Fusion Detroit - a group of young professionals committed to attracting young people to the Detroit area and supporting those who choose Detroit as the place they live, work and play.
