Paducah Young Professionals
Engaging Young Leaders of the Future

A division of the Paducah Area Chamber of Commerce, Paducah Young Professionals (PYP) is being developed to establish social and professional opportunities for emerging leaders, age 21-40. The goal of PYP is to connect, engage and develop our community’s current network of young professionals and entice others to relocate to our community. Through networking, professional development, community service and corporate tours, PYP members will be able to meet and connect with established leaders and like-minded professionals. Call 270-443-1746 or email [email protected] for more information. Why should I become a member?
• To interact socially with people who have similar interests or goals
• To expand your social opportunities through fun and exciting organized events
• To build lasting personal and business relationships with the young community and beyond
• To become a part of the up-and-coming area business community
• To give back through the community by participating in and volunteering for local events

• The cost for a one-year membership is $50 per year (if employer is a Chamber member) and $75 per year (if employer is a non-Chamber member). Do I have to wear a suit and tie?
• NO! PYP membership represents a vast array of the local workforce and includes recent grads to CEO’s and everything in between. Do I know anyone who is involved?
• Probably so but even if you don’t, who couldn’t use a few new friends!
