The Greater Newport Chamber presents...
The Young Professionals (Yo-Pros)
About
The Young Professionals is a newly formed group within the Newport Chamber of Commerce. The Yo-Pros as we like to call them get together for Civic projects, Social Networking events and to support local Chamber businesses through monthly "Lunch Mobs."
The mission of the Young Professionals is to improve the quality of life for residents in this age demographic, who currently live and work in Lincoln County. Yo-Pros is committed to providing opportunities that will encourage interaction in both a social and civic setting.
