The Young Professionals of Clark County is still in the infancy stage. Newcomers are welcome to meet with the group.

The group has planned meet-and-greet style networking events this summer that will take place in the coming week and going forward.

Sheila Nyberg, Executive Director of the CCEDC, got the ball rolling for the YP group.

Membership is free of charge and open to anyone regardless of age. The Clark County YP group seeks people who want to be more involved in their communities and Clark County, as well.
