Third Thursday Recap!
July's Third Thursday happened to be on the hottest day of the year. Despite this, a brave group of YPN Muscatine members met at the Muscatine Municipal Golf Course to Network and hit some golf balls on the range.
We also
collected school supplies to donate to Franklin Elementary School. Thanks to all of the YP's who donated!

Lunch and Learn Recap!
YPN was fortunate to have Michel Pontarelli, former career coach and councilor for the University of Iowa's part time MBA program, run us through the negotiation experience.
Our summer Lunch & Learn about salary negotiation was full of great tips and situational practice for getting what you are worth.
Remember that an offer from a company is much more than salary. Vacation time, healthcare benefits, retirement benefits, and much more are all negotiable!
We also were able to munch on some awesome tacos from Mami's, which may need to be included in our next negotiations!
