The Young Professionals Advisory Network*

The Young Professionals Advising Network provides an opportunity for both members and non-members of the Young Professionals Leadership Program to get together in a less structured environment that is highly conductive to networking and getting to know your peers. The first hour of the meetings will be facilitated and include group discussion on topics that are relevant to and chosen by the network’s members. Following this is a second hour that allows time for all members to mingle, build relationships and create connections with their peers. The location of this program will be rotated between Downtown Buffalo and Amherst, NY.

*The Young Professionals Peer Advisory Group is free to participants in the Young Professionals Leadership Certification Program, but can also be paid for and attended independently of the program.
