About
The Skagit Young Professionals was formed by a few fun-lovin’ people in Skagit County who wanted to create a more interesting way for young people to network. Regular networking meetings can be intimidating, especially if you are only in the first few years of business. With SYP, you can chill out with other folks who are just getting started and who are experiencing the same things you are. This is a time to build the business relationships and the friendships that will help us all to become the leaders of Skagit County in a few years. The group is open to anyone age 21 – 40.
Our mission is to create and foster an environment in which young professionals in Skagit County can develop into the future leaders of our community. Sounds cool, huh?
The Mount Vernon Chamber of Commerce supports this group financially and administratively because the Chamber believes that the Skagit Young Professionals are the future leaders of our community. As businesspeople, we will affect the business climate in this area for years to come. The Chamber is a powerful force in this business climate, and works to provide advocacy, training, tourism, and community support to its members. Take advantage of the great programs the Mount Vernon Chamber has to offer.
SYP encourages chamber membership in any of the Skagit County chambers – that’s why we have a discounted price for our networking events if you are a member of any chamber. Being involved in your chamber of commerce can help you integrate into the business community, cultivate positive relationships with other community leaders, and learn about business and the business climate.
