Young Professionals                          

Vision
To be the leading organization for attracting and retaining young professionals in the Lenoir County area.

Mission
To connect young professionals, enrich their lives through leadership development, and empower them to be the leaders of tomorrow.  

Dear Colleagues,

     The Young Professionals of Lenoir County (YPLC) was formed to foster an environment for the 21 - 39 age group and is an extension of the Kinston-Lenoir County Chamber of Commerce.  Our focus is to build an organization where individuals can experience Professional Development, Social Networking, Personal Growth, Community Outreach, and Mentoring with a relevance to their place in the professional world.
     The YPLC group is comprised of individuals from all backgrounds and occupations that live or work in Lenoir County.  Our goal is to be a diverse group of young professionals with a common purpose of bettering our workplaces, our community, and ourselves.
     We would like to extend an invitation to join the Young Professionals of Lenoir County.  Join today by using the on-line application posted below.  Several events, projects and programs will be offered throughout the year.  Using YPLC membership fees and possible future sponsors, activities may be offered at little to no cost to our members. Membership is $50 for Chamber of Commerce member employees and $75 for nonmembers. 
     If you need more information or would like to visit us during one of our events to see if you are interested in joining, please contact Laura Lee Sylvester at the Chamber of Commerce.  An informational Kick-Off Social is scheduled for 
December 3.

We look forward to meeting you.
