The Vital Signs partners continue to work hard on the issue of Brain Drain. “From the Brain Gain conference and numerous follow-up workshops, we know we have an issue attracting young people,” said Anne Sekula, vice president of Programs. “National best practices research indicates communities that successfully attract young adults reflect tolerance and inclusiveness, a wide range of ways to grow and promote talented individuals, and pride in unique community assets. Additionally, a business climate that supports innovation and entrepreneurs promotes Brain Gain vs. Brain Drain.”
