"We are totally supportive of YPN and feel it serves as a vital link in the recruitment and retention of young professionals in our community. The positive impact of YPN is immeasurable!"

Kelley Deal, Nash Community College

"The Young Professionals Network offers learning opportunities and networking designed to engage young professionals and encourage their participation in the local community. My involvement with the Network over the past several years has connected me with individuals and organizations that I maintain relationships with today. Because of YPN, young adults are able to become rooted even as newcomers to Rocky Mount. The relationships we are building are lasting ones that will hopefully continue to grow our community and keep it positively focused."

Sherita Titues, Southern Bank

"I have been a member of YPN for a number of years and it has been a great experience for me! I have grown within myself as well as community awareness. The thing I have gotten most out of being an active member is for one the 'Feed your mind' sessions. I have gotten more health conscious and dropped a few pounds since the YMCA Feed your mind and the Estate Planning Feed your mind has been most beneficial also. Lastly I have grown to meet and know many great young individuals in the community through YPN. As for me YPN is where you should be!"

Tracey Richardson, RBC Bank

"I was introduced to YPN by my cousin, who is already a member. I went to a couple of events that were hosted by YPN, did some research on the organization and felt is was a great fit for me. I love being around people who are 'movers & shakers', people who are going somewhere and not just wanting to be complacent in their current being. And the organization's community involvement was another plus to push me to join."
