Our Values
Professional Development
As young professionals, it seems obvious that professional development is important to us as members, but we take it one step further with our events. Allowing our members to interact with core stakeholders around the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Area, along with workshops, and experiences focused on growth.
Social Networking
We’ve heard the phrase, it’s not what you know, but who you know. We take this seriously to ensure that all of our members have the proper network to help them succeed in their careers. Introducing young professionals to each other and other leaders in our community to create a strong network.
Community Involvement
Doing good within the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area is a goal of ours, and we make sure that not only are we getting involved, but we learn about the systemic problems in our community. Backed by our partners and members, we’re able to invest our time, money, and resources into local causes.
