Huntington Young Professionals Invite You: Meet Up West Virginia

Come out and join us for Meet Up West Virginia!

What started as a regional series has grown so quickly that we’re now expanding statewide—bringing together young professionals and leaders from across West Virginia’s business, legal and civic communities.

On January 21, we’ll host Meet Up West Virginia at the West Virginia State University Center during the legislative session. This will be our largest event to date and, to our knowledge, the first statewide legislative reception focused specifically on young professionals, while still engaging the broader statewide business community.

We’ve partnered with organizations and professional groups from all over the state—including Counsel Connections, Huntington Young Professionals, and Up Next Charlie West, to name a few—to make this a truly statewide effort. We’re grateful for the collaboration and support that has helped bring this event together, and we also thank all of our sponsors listed in the program for making it possible.

We’re excited to bring everyone together for a night of connection, collaboration, and momentum for West Virginia’s next generation of leaders. All are welcome. Please share with anyone.
