The Young Professionals Group

WCA's dynamic under-40 set finds its home in the Young Professionals Group, which is actively producing the next generation of business leaders and talent through our terrific events and networking opportunities. Driven by the Young Professionals Executive Board, and work groups, the Young Professionals Group provides a sophisticated level of business and professional development to its members. Being a professional is about more than what you do. It's about how, where, and with whom you do it. Being a professional in this region is a lifestyle.

WCA's Young Professionals help our under 40 set connect to other professional peers, plug in to the community, and ensure that your voice is heard as the Westchester region shapes its culture and brand.

You know what you do, but where else do you fit in? Join us and find out!  Email Julia Emrick for more info.
