Valdosta Young Professionals Making the Connection

March 03, 2022 • Thressea H. Boyd, Host

It started with a casual conversation, and now the Valdosta Young Professionals (VYP) group has about 300 registered members.

In this episode, we're talking to VYP co-founders Chloe Wade, membership and events director at the Valdosta-Lowndes County Chamber of Commerce, and Lauren Pope, director of public relations at Lowndes County Schools.

Are you between 21 and 40 years old? Do you live, work, or conduct business in the metro-Valdosta area? Then, VYP may be the right fit for you to get "plugged" into the community.

Part of the Valdosta-Lowndes County Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by Georgia Power, VPA provides accessible programming and partnerships that help boost careers, conversations, and engagement within the community.

To find out more about VYP membership and how to sponsor an event, call the Valdosta-Lowndes County Chamber of Commerce at 229.247.8100.

For more information, visit the Valdosta-Lowndes County Chamber website to register. Also, get updates on upcoming events by following VYP on Facebook.

Join us next time as we continue to promote South Georgia as a great place to live, work, play, and visit.
