The Young Professionals Council (YPC) is a group of young business owners, entrepreneurs and serious, active, civic-minded professionals within The Chamber who have a deep appreciation of the Lehigh Valley’s leadership legacy and a clear vision of the Lehigh Valley’s future as a great place to live, play and do business. YPC members seek to create intergenerational connections; to understand the values, characteristics and experiences of The Chamber’s veteran professionals, while sharing their own unique perspective and skills, in order to create their own vision and empower the Valley’s business community, promote economic success, and build their businesses or advance their careers. This intergenerational connection creates a bridge to the new knowledge-driven economy and aligns their web of relationships.
YPC members recognize the value of The Chamber’s social media outreach initiatives as a way to explore new markets, connect with customers, join in conversations, and encourage effective participation on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, and The Chamber's Blog.
