Reno Tahoe YPN is Flush with Interest

Even though I’ve been a member for awhile, I attended my first Young Professional Network (YPN) event on Tuesday. It was hosted at a Toll Brothers model home out in Somersett. The home is literally a $1,000,000 home. It was a unique setting for a social networking meeting.

It was refreshing to go to a networking event and see a new roster of attendees. Many were people I know but don’t usually see out and about, and there were even more that I hadn’t met before. I invited my wife which I don’t usually do. She doesn’t usually have fun at business networking events, so I spare her the practice. But seeing as she is going to be a young professional soon, I thought she might have fun at a YPN event. I think she was surprised to see a few people she knew and overall she enjoyed herself.

The group seems to be rolling along. Michael Thomas started by sharing EDAWN’s involvement with the group and then each board member presented on their respective areas. I saw frequent glances at Michael from the board and got the gist that he is a great mentor and advisor for them.

All the members seemed really jazzed about the launch party on April 5th. It will be hosted at 210 North and sounds like a lot of fun. I know I will be there (Upcoming.org listing).
