YPN Young Professionals Network
The Young Professionals Network (YPN) of Indian River County offers monthly programs and events to allow young leaders to exchange ideas, grow professionally, and share common interests. YPN events are attended by emerging leaders aged 18 to 39.
Our mission is to provide Indian River County's young professionals with unique and valuable opportunities to enhance personal and professional development while positively impacting our community.
YPN is funded by annual dues, which allow us to offer monthly programs to our participants. The annual cost for YPN participation is $50 per year for Chamber Member Companies and $60 for Non-Chamber Member Companies. Depending on the scope of the event, YPN events range from $5 to $15 per event.
