The Young Professionals Association (YPA) of Greater Sudbury
has launched its 2007 membership campaign and official
website.
The event was held at the Cambrian College Student Centre Nov.
30. The centre was transformed into an elegant venue, complete
with catering and live entertainment. About 150 young
professionals between the ages of 20 to 35 were
present. 
The attendees of the event had a chance to find out more about
the association, its benefits and upcoming events.  The
chair, Andre Lapierre, and executive members of the association
were introduced.
The website was unveiled along with the list of the benefits of
the YPA membership card.  The YPA also announced its
speaker series in March 2007.
The YPA's goal is to empower and engage the future leaders of
this community by creating opportunities for them to meet and
build relationships with other young professionals.
The YPA will assist in furthering the interests and objectives
of young professionals, as well as stimulate interest and
participation in corporate/business activities. 
As a new organization, the YPA will be growing and changing to
better serve its members and the community. Stay tuned with the
YPA and  upcoming events by visiting the website at
