Torrington made history by electing one of the youngest mayors (age 22) ever in Ryan Bingham four years ago.

(And two resounding re-election victories later, he's still one of the youngest.)

And it made waves again early this year by naming 33-year-old Chris Leone as school superintendent.

Now the two young leaders will meet, together, with the Northwest Connecticut Chamber of Commerce's Young Professionals group.

The get-together is scheduled for 5 p.m. Tuesday, March 9, at the Chamber's offices at 333 Kennedy Drive, Torrington.

The Northwest Connecticut Young Professionals Organization is re-launching with a kickoff party and networking seminar at Cambridge Brew Pub from 5 to 7 p.m. Jan. 19.

The group will have volunteers participating in the Northwest Connecticut Chamber of Commerce's Read-Aloud Day Feb. 3, and then will be gathering for a group outing to see "The Full Monty" at the Warner Theatre Feb. 12.
