 Engage Young Professionals "What I like most about Wichita are the people. I love knowing the business owners and how personal they are with you...they really make the market.”
Vision: to be the heartland’s destination for young intellectual capital Young Professionals of Wichita (YPW) was formed in 2005 as an initiative of the Wichita Metro Chamber to attract and retain diverse young talent through professional and social immersion. YPW has exploded to 1900 members in two years with a wide variety of professional development, social and leadership programs. YPW’s newly formed Board Placement Program recognizes that community involvement is key to retaining young talent. The program connects community-minded YPs with local non-profits who need passionate young board members to survive and thrive—a win-win for both YPs and the community. “Young professional organizations are critical in keeping young talent here and involved in our community.”
