Let’s talk about the people behind YPS - the board! Our board is comprised of 12 young professionals that plan and implement networking events for other YP’s to connect with each other AND with local businesses. Last night, YPS board members were matched with a member of the Stillwater Chamber board of directors for a mentorship program we call “Board Buddies”. This is one of the many ways your YPS board works to ensure we’re providing quality opportunities for young professionals in our community!

🤝C O M M U N I T Y🤝 Last night we built relationships within our community at our Feb. Networking Night! Everyone enjoyed good company, good drinks, and giveaways at Stonecloud Brewing Stillwater courtesy of our sponsor Bluepeak
