Young professionals connect through YPEK

Young leaders are an important aspect of any successful community, and many young working professionals, like myself, are calling East Kentucky home.

Young professionals stay in the area for many reasons: to build the community with service and leadership, to establish Eastern Kentucky as a place for growth and development and to provide its people with a high quality of life.

One way young professionals are meeting the current and future needs of their communities is through joining a new organization, Young Professionals of East Kentucky (YPEK).

YPEK allows young professionals to connect with one another, grow individually, and engage in service leadership in their communities.

Recently, young professionals from around the region met to discuss issues that involve their communities. In the future, YPEK plans to host issue-based forums which will bring young professionals together on how they can better their communities.

If you are interested in learning more about YPEK, please go to www.YPEK.org or e-mail info@YPEK.org.

Join us as we strive to CONNECT, GROW and LEAD!
