Tuesday, April 3 saw the publication of the second issue of the Hamilton Spectator's new monthly business magazine.  The headlining feature for April's issue was all about the swelling activity of Young Professionals, Leaders and Entrepreneurs in the city of Hamilton, with a specific focus on the groups that they maintain, connect, network, and seek to further various community agendas through.

Given this focus, a large portion of the feature discussed the Hamilton HIVE, and specifically profiled Melissa Height (Vice-Chair), Matt Terry (Secretary), and myself (Chair).

This feature was a very welcome sign of both recognition of, and encouragement to, continue to push forward with all thing incredible things that Young Leaders are making, building, developing, and doing in Hamilton, Ontario.

Congratulations to all my fellow Young Professional, Entrepreneurs, and Leaders, keep up the fantastic work!

"Ryan Moran is chair of Hamilton Hive, the umbrella organization for the growing number of YP groups in the city and was one of a team of two who just won Canada's Next Top Ad Execs. He said these YP networks are encouraging young professionals to stay here and build careers. They have also encouraged others to move here from Toronto and other urban centres. 

'It's been about bolstering each other and encouraging each other at the same time, showing other YPs outside the city what's going on here.' "
