Young Professionals Dubuque

Call Directions Website

Young Professionals Dubuque Young Professionals of Dubuque began with approximately 60 members in the spring of 2006 and has grown to over 1400 members.

Under the leadership of the Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce, Young Professionals Dubuque (YPD) exists to connect young professionals with each other, the business community, and the city in which we live, work, play, and do business. The Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce discovered that Dubuque-area young professionals were looking for an organization that would do things differently. Young professionals were asking for a group that addressed their needs with a dash of creativity and a focus on professional development, networking, and community involvement. Those needs coincided with the Chamber's desire to acquaint the area's young professionals with each other; knowing that relationship is a powerful retention tool. YPD has evolved to a dynamic group that the Dubuque Chamber and community as a whole look to as up-and-coming leaders in Tri-State area.

⏰TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO REGISTER FOR YP SYMPOSIUM ⏰

✨ Our last breakout speaker is none other than Lauren Michelle Minert from Kunkel & Associates ✨

Lauren’s presentation “What People See Before They Meet You: You’re Digital First Impression” will talk about what your first impression is when recruiters are looking at your profiles before an interview.

What do recruiters really notice about you? What helps and what hurts your chances during your job search? As well as why your online persona doesn’t need to be perfect to be powerful.

💙💚 Don’t forget, YP Symposium is coming up! 💚💙

Let’s chat about our Key Note as well as one of our breakout session speakers: Luke Soderling 🎒⛰️

Luke will be sharing about his lessons he learned on Discovery Channel’s The Wheel, in his presentation “Thrive in the Unknown”

Luke was selected as a survivalist for the Discovery Channel’s new show “The Wheel” in 2016. As a participant, he survived over 60
days alone in 6 different locations throughout South America without any prior training aside from basic backpacking experience.

Luke attributes his success on “The Wheel” to an even greater challenge he faced in 2013, when he was diagnosed with and subsequently beat Stage 3 thyroid cancer. Upon reflection and
examination of his life’s experiences, he realized that his stories and lessons from adversity could be applied to the challenges we all share in our daily lives.

Want to hear more from Luke? ✨ Register for the YP Symposium at: https://bit.ly/4yy49PP
