We are the future of Harvey County. We are the 18+ year olds who are just starting out in our careers – the young students, business owners, employees, and striving talent that will be the next generation of leaders in the area. Why does all of this matter? It matters because Emerge believes in a vibrant future for Harvey County. We have a strong and unified purpose, and we work to support our future leaders by offering opportunities for growth, engagement, service and much more.
To fulfill our broad promise to our members and to the Harvey County community, Emerge meets on the 2nd Thursday of each month for Lunch & Learn at 12:00 pm, and the 3rd Thursday of each month for Coffee & Networking at 7:00 am. Emerge council members meet on the 1st Thursday of each month. Our programs offer the opportunity for our leaders to grow, get engaged, and serve.

Grow: |

Engage: |
|
| Emerge social events are free, informal get-togethers for networking and meeting new people. |
Serve: |
|
| Our community service projects have included Sand Creek cleanup, Downtown cleanup, and donation drives for various local benefits. |
With so many members doing so many wonderful things throughout Harvey County, it’s not unusual to see our members in the local media. This section is a forum to note goings on in Emerge, and to celebrate member promotions, job changes, civic accomplishments, etc. Please don’t hesitate to make Emerge aware when you have been mentioned in the press so that it may be included here.
To begin the membership process, we welcome you to join our Facebook group at “Emerge: Harvey County”. There, you can view our upcoming events and enjoy pictures from past networking mingles.
Next, attend one of the events at no cost simply to get an idea of what we do. We know that you will find our members to be warm and welcoming, and the presentation given to be entertaining and insightful.
And finally, now that you have made the decision to join, talk to your employer or directly to the Newton Chamber of Commerce. Often, your employer will gladly pay the annual fee. If not, the monthly lunches which are paid for by your membership more than make up for the cost of your annual dues.
Network and build personal and professional relationships with others in similar life situations.
Become a part of the up-and-coming business community.
Develop a sense of ownership in your community.
Attend fun, organized events with people who have similar interests and goals.
Advance your career through interaction with community leaders.
Looking to attract and retain younger employees? Research shows that when young adults feel they can make a difference in their community, they are twice as likely to stay.
Emerge provides opportunities for personal and professional development, mentoring, volunteerism and networking to help our leaders become more engaged in the community.
As a not-for-profit group, Emerge: Harvey County relies on partnerships with area business and industry. Keeping the dues as low as possible encourages membership, which benefits not only you as the member, but also your employer and the entire local economy by having more engaged and informed citizens and a larger tax base. Businesses can contribute to the greater cause in several ways:
In-kind Support |
|
| Emerge incurs regular expenses of printing marketing material, logoed apparel, food and space for events, website maintenance, etc. By offering your services to our organization, you provide support to the entire community, gain exposure for your business, and allow for a significant tax deduction. |
Sponsorships |
|
| Become an annual sponsor. Being an Emerge annual sponsor comes with a lot of great benefits, and we offer 4 different levels of sponsorship to best suite your business. A Bronze level sponsorship is $75/year, a Silver level is $150/year, a gold level is $500/year, and platinum sponsorship is $1000/year. Click HERE to learn more about our sponsorship opportunities! |
Event Sponsorships |
|
| Being an event sponsor can help us cover the cost of putting on an event. It’s a fantastic way to expose a young demographic to the work that you do, thereby adding new customers who already spend time here in Harvey County. Be on the lookout for event sponsorship opportunities on our Facebook page! |
