The Young Professionals Committee currently boasts over 150 members. Throughout the past year, the committee has developed many successful projects including the Geared for Success program which provides individuals with attire for job interviews, and the YPC: On Campus program, a partnership with the Marshall University Lewis College of Business which provides students with the opportunity to learn more about existing opportunities for young professionals in the regional business community.
