Young Professionals Network

The United Regional Chamber of Commerce launched the United Regional Young Professionals Organization (YPO) in direct response to the challenges facing the 16 communities in our region in attracting and retaining younger employees as well as to develop the next generation of leaders.

President Josh Vanada of Hurd Auto Mall and Vice President Zach Patten of Oak Grove Insurance encourage people between the ages of 21 and 40 to join this organization that focuses on social and business networking, community involvement, and professional development. YPO events are a mix of networking and fun held in local establishments. This group has been active for less than a year and members have already made many great connections.
