of the Year

Gratiot Young Professionals Network (GYPN)

The Gratiot Young Professionals Network (GYPN) is a Committee of the Gratiot Area Chamber. It was established in 2019 to provide young professionals who live or work in Gratiot County with networking events, professional development sessions, and volunteer opportunities. In 2023, you can also join as a GYPN member for more benefits. Contact the Chamber to learn more!

Leadership Development Workshop (LDW)

LDW assists young professionals in developing leadership competencies and building relationships to grow in their careers and the community. Delivered through classroom-based and experiential learning, LDW will require six half-day sessions and some small group work between sessions. The next offering will be Fall 2023. Contact the Chamber for more information.

Lunch and Learns

The GYPN offers professional development sessions throughout the year in a Lunch and Learn format. They are free to attend for GYPN members and $10 for non-members, and GYPN members get priority registration. Topics will be posted on the GYPN Facebook page in advance.

Networking Events

The GYPN offers several opportunities for networking, including Connections Over Coffee and Off the Clock. Connections Over Coffee is a monthly opportunity for friendly conversations with other young professionals. Off the Clock is an after-hours opportunity to learn about area businesses and enjoy food and beverages.
