I can think of 3 to start with (though I expect that a second variable is by practice area), I expect this also segments (but needs to connect) by those who came from highly resourced graduate platforms and thise who came from deep social ones like many of the HBUC yunus mainly spends his time with in USA 1 what yunus calls social business club but i prefer to call value chain development clubs being the main business clubs in all student unions 2 the club of alumni of youth entrepreneur connections who sustain a start up or student exchange network -eg students who work together to start up credit unions interfacing their university town 3 young professional social networks which typically start a few years after graduating ---some capitals ,like san diego and boston have ecosystems outside of separated universities so that all of above can meet as well as find tech wizards or those who can be most trusted to mediate a deepest social challenge in communities whose trust needs to be earned- however most us capitals are so far away from this that I supoose its no wonder that 8 years of obama yes we can generation has only seen wall street banking destruction of communities and youth futures get worse cheers chris bethesda 301 881 1655 skype chrismacraedc references to jim kims demands of young professionals
