Gratiot Young Professionals Network (GYPN)
The Gratiot Young Professionals Network (GYPN) is a Committee of the Gratiot Area Chamber. It was established in 2019 to allow young professionals living or working in Gratiot County to participate in networking events, professional development sessions, and volunteer opportunities. You can participate in all events as a member or a non-member.

Leadership Development Workshop (LDW): LDW assists young professionals in developing leadership competencies and building relationships to grow in their careers and the community. Delivered through a combination of classroom-based and experiential learning, LDW will require six half-day sessions, along with some small-group work between sessions. For more information, click here for our 2025 LDW flyer. Applications are currently being accepted here.

Lunch and Learns: The GYPN offers yearly professional development sessions in a Lunch and Learn format. They are free to attend for GYPN members and $10 for non-members, and GYPN members get priority registration. Topics will be posted on the GYPN Facebook page in advance.
Networking Events: The GYPN offers several networking opportunities, including Connections Over Coffee and Off the Clock. Connections Over Coffee is a monthly opportunity for friendly conversations with other young professionals. Off the Clock is an after-hours opportunity to learn about area businesses and enjoy food and beverages.
