A program of the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce, Generation Dayton encourages talented young professionals who live and work in the Dayton region to meet, network, learn, grow and establish themselves as integral components in the future success of the region. Each month we’ll introduce you to one of their members with a spotlight interview. So meet our next young professional:

Name: Aaron Flatter

Title: Technical Sales Specialist

Organization: Agil IT
Community Involvement: Generation Dayton employee relations committee  &  HYPE of Miami County.
Hobbies and Interests: Golf, woodworking, flying and nuclear power.
Favorite Area Eatery: The Wine Gallery and Café.
Favorite Weekend Activity: Spending time with my wife, golfing and enjoying almost anything that includes the outdoors.
What do you love about Dayton?
Dayton is home for me. Well, technically I live in the middle of corn and bean fields, but its close enough. I’ve been around Dayton my entire life and just when I think there’s something missing, well, that’s when my wife usually clues me in. Dayton may be a rather small city but it’s not lacking charm, culture or diversity. There are so many wonderful organizations and local business that help make Dayton the city that it is. Of course I can’t keep my mind from wandering to all the other good things Dayton offers such as Boston Stokers coffee, the seemingly never ending beer menu at Chappys, and too many local places to even mention when it comes to delicious food. I love Dayton not just because it’s home to me and most of my family but because its home to so many other wonderful people as well. I can’t quite imagine my life without Dayton, or without Pub Fries from the Dublin Pub.
How has Generation Dayton aided your professional, personal and/or social development?
Generation Dayton has given me the opportunities to interact with fellow young professionals that share similar morals, goals and interest.
Tell us a little more about your profession and company…
Agil IT designs, builds, maintains and secures information and infrastructures for ambulatory care healthcare practices. Our mission is to help these organizations leverage their investments in technology to establish themselves as leaders in their industry. Agil IT sees and understands the evolution of healthcare, especially as the federal government is pushing hard for Electronic Health Records (EHR) adoption and with potential cuts to reimbursements coming down the pike for medical practices, operational efficiency is paramount. We help those practices with those efficiencies, which in turn help them to provide the best patient care…all through technology and consulting.
What do you enjoy about your career/profession? Employer?
The challenges that arrive with every new technology breakthrough and having the opportunity to do this in a passionate and energetic work environment.

June 1: YP this Week

June 1, 2010 By Megan Cooper Leave a Comment

With First Friday ending the week, there is a lot happening in Dayton.  Although this column highlights events specifically for YPs, I encourage you to check out all this weekend has to offer including First Friday , Paddle in the Park, or the kick-off to Pride Week.  We play well with others right?  It doesn’t HAVE to be all YP all the time.  But you have the DMM event calendar for additional events.  If you’re looking to socialize with the specifically under 40 crowd, here are some YP activities this week:

Tuesday, June 1: HYPE is hosting a membership meeting at The Caroline tonight at 7 PM to welcome new members and plan upcoming membership events. If  you’re looking for YP action in the Northern Miami Valley – stop by.

Wednesday, June 2: First Wednesday of every month is your time to check out the Dayton Ballet Barre/Associate Board Meeting – Want to know more about this great group?  Join them for their meeting and find out how you can get involved.  Meeting starts at 5:30, but come early for the social/happy hour at 5 PM and meet some new people.

Thursday, June 3: Calling all printers, designers, artists and anyone interested in the magic of 2D/3D imagining.  The Dayton Adobe Group (discovered through the Dayton Creative Syndicate) hosts Bart and Michael from EskoArtwork for a free meeting/demo from 6-7:30 PM.

Take your pick when to see Rent as performed by Encore Theatre Co.  Gen D will be going on Thursday, June 3 and Sunday, June 6 if you want to know that they’re be a bunch of other YP’s in the crowd.  Speaking of YPs – ETC is a young, vibrant and exciting theatre troupe based right here in Dayton.

Friday, June 4: HYPE is hosting a TGIF lunch at Tin Roof this Friday at 11:30 a.m. RSVP’s for this lunch are due to Nikki at [email protected] by noon this THURSDAY.

FIRST FRIDAY!!! Want a specifically YP way to check out First Friday?  Hook up with updayton’s Street Buzz and “Get Buzzed.”

Finally, this Sunday is the deadline to RSVP to the great DULYP event – National Day of Service.  Make a difference with other YPs by building a brand new playground in the East End neighborhood.  Event is on Saturday, June 12 – but RSVP deadline is this Sunday!

Hope everyone had a fantastic and meaningful Memorial Weekend and is ready to get out there and have fun in June!  As always – if I missed an event sponsored by YP group – post it in the comments.
