MWCOC Referral Groups

YP Connect Welcomes You!

About Us

Welcome to the new young professionals group of the Middlesex West Chamber of

Commerce. We are looking for young professionals (ages 21-40) with diverse

professional backgrounds who want to meet other career-minded individuals. YP

Connect provides opportunities to develop socially, professionally, and civically.

Origins

In the fall of 2009, Jamie Tomc of Enterprise Bank, along with fellow peers in the

MWCOC recognized the need to create a comfortable environment where young

professionals could build relationships and develop professionally as future leaders in our community. After a number of start-up meetings, the YP Connect group organically

formed and welcomed young professionals to its first event in March of 2010. Past

events included an after-hours networking event at Not Your Average Joe’s in Acton and

Poolside Networking at Quail Ridge Country Club.

Mission

YP Connect provides young, emerging leaders an outlet to promote their business,

develop their business skills, build confidence, and network with fellow peers to help

strengthen their community.

Goals

Provide entertaining social and business networking opportunities for young

professionals

Promote educational opportunities for young professionals to develop within their

own business organization or for personal self-development

Active volunteerism within the MWCOC communities

Events

Each Month, YP Connect strives to put on exciting events that will bring young

professionals together. The events will include before and after-hour networking events

at hot-spot locations, personal development opportunities through panel discussions with

field experts, and volunteering with our local non-profit affiliates. Join us for wine-

tasting events, sporting events, and other cultural activities. Connect with others at our

networking events or attend our speaker series where you can learn more about public

speaking, steps to starting your own business, and networking with ease. Stay tuned and
