Young Professionals
The Young Professionals events (YoPE) are designed to introduce our young professionals to other young professionals in the community while also presenting many of the great assets in our region. The primary objective of this Chamber initiative is to attract and retain talented, educated, ambitious young professionals in our community. We plan great events and networking activities that are open to all young professionals who are in the early stages of their careers.
If you would like to be added to our email distribution list, please email chamber@dpchamber.org.
