Young Professionals Network

Young Professionals Network was launched in 2008 to attract, retain and develop a highly-skilled diverse workforce in the St. Louis region by providing valuable opportunities for networking, professional development and community involvement. As a forum for building lasting connections, sharing big ideas and supporting the future of the St. Louis region, YPN Membership is a network of more than 3,500 diverse professionals between the ages of 21-40 representing over 700 companies.

Members have the opportunity to attend social, philanthropic, cultural and professional development events throughout the year and serve on various committees focused on engagement within the group and the St. Louis community.

Leadership 100

Each year, 100 young professionals are recognized from the general membership to be a part of the YPN Leadership 100 cohort because of their demonstrated leadership and service to the community. This cohort is provided unique professional, cultural and community service opportunities that offer unique experiences and engagement in St. Louis.

Steering Committee

The YPN Steering Committee maintains a focus on general membership interests, while staying strategically connected to RBC members, partners and community organizations. Steering Committee members are nominated by Leadership 100 members and RBC members. The Steering Committee meets quarterly to provide advice and decision making regarding the entire network.

“The Regional Business Council and the Young Professionals Network has made a huge impact on my professional growth. I have not only had the chance to learn more about St. Louis over the years, but I have also grown with my fellow Young Professional Members and can call many of them close friends now. The work and dedication exhibited by those in the Young Professionals Network is remarkable. I am happy to say that not only am I a member, but We are St. Louis, and We are here to stay.”
