The next generation of business and civic leaders

Build. Grow. Advance.

The Young Professionals Network (YPN) is comprised of business development professionals between the ages of 21 and 40 all working in different industries. YPN provides a space not only to develop leadership skills and business relationships, but also to foster business alliances through education, programming, and mutual support within the Chamber and the broader community.
