I joined for the professional networking, but also to meet other people and professionals around my age in order to make friends when I first moved back to town. I still like coming to meet new people around the community.
What is your favorite YPN event? I have really enjoyed the Hy-Vee food and beer pairing event.
What event would you like to see YPN do? Don't know if I have any suggestions for different events, but maybe social outings like for sporting events or group trips, even for the day?
