The panel consists of Jeremy Beyt, co-founder and CCO of ThreeSixtyEight, Sabrina Galloway, Principal Strategist of The Galloway Group and COO of Ethics, and Amanda Martin, CEO of Studyville. They explore the city’s self-perception problems, economic barriers to attracting young professionals, and how to cultivate a new generation of community leaders to drive initiatives forward.
One topic discussed is the development of the Better in BTR campaign by ThreeSixtyEight, which aims to showcase the opportunities and benefits of living and working in Baton Rouge.
