In January of this year, the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce invited the chambers from Oceanside, San Marcos and Vista to start a new program for businesspeople ages 21 to 39 called the North County Young Professionals.
NCYP is all about HYPE, or helping young professionals excel. The 250-member group is driven by its events and grows via word of mouth.
After the initial period of developing bylaws and establishing a steering group comprised of members from each chamber, NCYP is now actively recruiting members and planning events. The group has three types of events; all are focused on business networking and professional development.
The NCYP events are:
• Blenders, a take on the typical chamber mixer.
• iLunches, networking lunches that feature exclusive, intimate and interactive dialogues with CEOs and VIPs.
• Road trips, executive behind the scenes tours that put you in touch with local companies and what they're all about.
The next NCYP event is an iLunch with Assemblyman Martin Garrick from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 17 at the California Pizza Kitchen in Vista. The cost is $25. To register for the event, visit www.ncyp.org.
Don't worry if you're an experienced professional who is 40 or older, NCYP offers a wide variety of ways to sponsor different programs that will put you in touch with young professionals.
For more information about NCYP, or if you're a young professional and want to sign up, call (760) 795-0240 or visit www.ncyp.org.
