Inklings book club: "Outliers"

YLNI is pleased to introduce a new monthly event for our network. "Inklings" will be a monthly book club focusing on issues relevant to young professionals.  Inklings will meet over the lunch hour in downtown Fort Wayne.
 
What you need to know:
Format: Each month we will discuss the book as a group at our regular meeting. Each discussion will be facilitated by a YLNI member.  Also, at the conclusion of our meeting, notes and discussion topics will be posted online at the YLNI Facebook page for ongoing discussion.
 
Recently, Next Generation Consulting released a list of "Next Cities" and the seven indexes that qualify a Next City. Inklings will focus on one of these indexes per quarter and book selections will aim to challenge thoughts in order to generate discussion.
