At AngelouEconomics, we are committed to providing cutting edge solutions to today's most difficult economic development challenges. Because of this, AE has invited Mr. Jason Ryan Dorsey to join the firm's advisory board and help better prepare companies and communities to attract, retain, and motivate the very important Generation Y workforce. Through this relationship, AE and Mr. Dorsey will be able to provide clients with the following services:

• Generation Y Workforce Strategies
• Workforce Development Marketing
• Young Professional Recruitment Strategies
• Entrepreneurial Development
• Public Speaking and Board Facilitation on Generation Y Recruitment and Workforce Training

Mr. Dorsey brings over ten years of experience in developing Generation Y talent in companies, education systems, and communities across the U.S. and as far away as Egypt and India. He is a noted speaker, consultant, and best-selling author of "My Reality Check Bounced!: The Twentysomethings Guide to Cashing in on Your Real-World Dreams." Mr. Dorsey has presented to audiences as small as a few dozen executives and as large as over 6,000 young professionals in New York City. He was the only youth asked to serve on the Board of Directors of President Clinton’s National Campaign Against Youth Violence, and in recognition of his entrepreneurial success, won the Austin Under 40 Entrepreneur of the Year Award in Education when he was only 25 years old. At age 28, Mr. Dorsey is a member of Generation Y himself and a nationally recognized voice for his generation.

Mr. Dorsey's unique insight into Generation Y has led to his appearance on 20/20, NBC’s Today Show, ABC’s The View, and in The Wall Street Journal. Most recently, Mr. Dorsey was quoted in Fortune Magazine's article titled "Attracting the Twentysomething Worker". Click here to read the article in its entirety.
