END OF YEAR RECAP Flagstaff Young Professionals (FYP) is a Chamber initiative that serves local leaders between the ages of 21 and 39 years old. Its purpose is to engage individuals who want to develop and advance their careers, to make a positive impact on our community, and to boost their leadership potential on boards and commissions. FYP strives to bring young professionals together to connect, create community, and thrive through career development, service projects, and relationship building. FYP toasted the holiday season with an evening of networking with friends and food at Whisk and Whisky last week. The dynamic and diverse group got to reminisce on a successful first year of FYP, ending with just under 100 new members. With 25 events throughout the 2018 year, FYP made a substantial impact by contributing to seven different non-profits for their philanthropic pillar, hosted eight educational seminars

for career advancement, and created 10 networking mixers for members to connect and interact with like-minded individuals. The most successful event of the year was the Leadership Mentoring in September connecting 75 Young Professionals with empowering mentors in the local community. FYP continues to grow its leaders through professional and personal development and has exciting new plans for the 2019 year, including new Board Members! Do you know a Young Professional that can benefit from this group in the new year? Visit their site at www.flagstaffyoungprofessionals.org or email Cassity Smith at csmith@flagstaffchamber.com for more information. From FYP to you, have a wonderful holiday and we look forward to connecting next year!
