Young Professionals Network (YPN)

Connecting To The Community

Building meaningful relationships

The Young Professionals Network (YPN) is a program of the Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce that creates inclusive spaces and networking opportunities while promoting personal and professional development for Chamber members under the age of 40.

A variety of opportunities that are available through YPN connect business professionals to like-minded individuals:

  • Weekly HYPE lunches, which are hosted at local restaurants and allow for casual networking.
  • Quarterly speed networking events.

 

The YPN Executive committee invites YPs to get involved in the following work groups to assist with building up our community and expanding each other’s connections.
