Young Professionals Network (YPN) is a program of The Chamber of Commerce of Southwest Indiana dedicated to serving young professionals in Southwest Indiana by providing opportunities for professional development, civic and community involvement and networking. YPN is committed to broadening young professionals' scope of influence, developing their personal and professional skills, and engaging them in communities in Southwest Indiana through monthly membership meetings, social events and philanthropic projects.

YPN meets the third Thursday of each month at The Chamber's office in Downtown Evansville. Meetings begin promptly at 5:30 p.m. with a short time for networking, followed by a structured business meeting at 6 p.m. Insightful business leaders are regularly invited to speak to the group about career and professional development, work/life balance, community involvement and networking.

Recent meetings have featured Leadership Evansville Executive Director Lynn Miller-Pease; Harding, Shymanski & Co. President & CEO Trudy Stock; The Women's Hospital CEO Christina Ryan; and Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke.

Membership in YPN is open to any young professionals employed by Chamber member businesses. There is no cost to join the group. For more information or to inquire about membership, contact Ben Wills at bwills@ccswin.com or 812-425-8147.
