WHAT IS IGNITE?

You might have heard of Ignite Young Professionals… but what exactly is Ignite?

We’re a community of young professionals in Portage County who want to connect, grow, get involved, and have a little fun along the way.

Through networking events, professional development, community involvement, and social events, Ignite gives you opportunities to build relationships both personally and professionally.

Because your professional network shouldn’t just be a list of LinkedIn connections.

It should be people you know, trust, and enjoy being around.

That’s Ignite.

This week we're shouting out our wonderful secretary, Kayla!

We asked Kayla, what would you say to someone thinking about joining Ignite? Kayla said, "I would tell them to go for it. Ignite is more than just networking; it’s about building real relationships, growing as a professional, and finding your place in the community. If you’re looking to meet motivated people, expand your opportunities, and get more involved, Ignite is a great place to start. You’ll get out of it what you put into it, and it’s absolutely worth it."

Thank you Kayla for all you do!
