News
Charlotte's bipartisan efforts to host the 2012 Democratic National Convention are in full swing. Following the Democratic National Committee’s technical team's visit to Charlotte on July 28, N.C. Governor Bev Perdue, Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx and Duke Energy CEO Jim Rogers held a media briefing at the Charlotte Chamber. Hosting the 2012 convention could bring as much as $200 million in revenue to our city and impact our local economy for years to come. View a recording of the news conference.

Event Recap
Thanks to everyone who came to Engage Charlotte’s last After Hours at Black Finn. We had a great turnout and a lot of fun conversation. Charlotte young professional numbers continue to grow and events like this are great opportunities for us to get to know each other. We hope you will join us for our next after hours on Septembers 15. The TOP SECRET location will be revealed at the next luncheon. (It's top secret because we haven't confirmed it yet. Really, it's not a secret at all. Once we tell you, feel free to tell everyone you know.)
