The D&C has a feature every Sunday called "Advice From The Top" where local CEOs or business leaders answer questions submitted from young
professionals. Local YPs can ask any question about workplace issues, starting your own business, climbing the career ladder, funding, etc.
All they need from the YP (other than a question) is a photo, and their name, age and place of work! If interested, email Enid Arbelo at <ear...@rocheste.gannett.com>.
