There’s nothing more powerful than a community showing up for each other 💗

The crew from Jonesboro Young Professionals Network had the honor of volunteering at the United Breast Cancer Foundation shopping event, helping breast cancer patients and survivors “shop” for FREE essentials, goodies, and a little extra joy.

From check-in to shopping assistance to restocking, our group got to be a small part of something really big, creating a space filled with support, strength, and smiles.

Grateful for organizations like UBCF that pour so much into our community, and proud of our JYPN members who continue to show up and give back.

Strikes, slices, and solid connections 🎳🍕

Nothing beats building real relationships outside the office. Last week at our Networking Social, we enjoyed great conversations, a little friendly competition, and a lot of laughs. Events like this remind us that networking doesn’t have to be formal to be powerful.
If you’re looking for fun ways to connect with other local young leaders & build your professional network, JYPN is your answer.

We kicked off the year with a powerful conversation.

JYPN hosted our first Professional Development event of 2026, “From Burnout to Balance: Mental Health Skills Every Young Professional Needs.”

We were honored to learn from Clarence Young about the United Breast Cancer Foundation and then the lovely Mandy Young with Tailgate Time shared practical insight and real-life perspective on protecting your mental health while building your career.

Growth isn’t just about climbing the ladder, it’s about sustaining the climb. 💼✨

Let's get to work!
Rick Gomez is our newest JYPN board member bringing lots of energy and heart to our efforts this year. He is our Community Service Chair & is excited to unite JYPN members to do some great service work in Jonesboro. If you have a heart for helping others, looking to give back to your community more or just hoping to build up some good karma, reach out and we'll get you connected with Rick and get you on his committee.
Rick is an agent at David Kerley Shelter Insurance, a skilled runner (as you can see from his St. Jude marathon pic), a SUPER nice friendly guy and a pretty talented bartender as well. 🍸🍹🍺
Come see him at the upcoming event at Divot's on the 15th and welcome him to his first full year on the board.

Let the socializing begin!
Ashlyn Weaver is your JYPN Social Chair this year & she's ready to bring the fun! JYPN hosts casual networking socials that bring together young professionals to get to know each other and build relationships.
These fun events are held all over town and usually involve yummy food, a fun activity and maybe even a drink or two to calm the nerves. We know networking and meeting new people can be a little intimidating so these fun events are a way to relax and really get to know one another. If you'd like to join her committee and plan some fun networking opportunities, let us know.
Ashlyn is our other new mommy on the board and a very successful realtor for ERA Doty Realty Group. Ashlyn would love to meet and connect on the 15th! See you then!

You're about to get developed, professionally that is!
Tessah Luebke is the Professional Development Chair of JYPN this year and she is READY to take these events to the next level. JYPN hosts quarterly professional development events, bringing in dynamic speakers from all walks of life to educate our group on relevant topics that help us grow in our careers. She has some great ideas for this year's events but would still like your help!
If you're interested in joining her committee to help plan these events, let us know and she'll add you to the committee.
In the mean time, come meet her at the Member Appreciation Event on 01/15!
When she's not planning these cool events, she's running her very own social media management company called She Just Got Social as well as playing with her new adorable baby! (She's 1 of 2 new mommies on our board! S/O TO THE HARD WORKING MAMMAS OUT THERE!)
