Learning to Lead

The Ardmore Young Professionals (AYP) is a group built to exchange ideas, interact socially and share common interests in order to position themselves as Ardmore’s leaders of today and tomorrow for the betterment of our community.

When are the meetings?

Ardmore YP as a whole doesn’t have monthly organized meetings. We provide many social and community service oriented activities that all members are welcome and encouraged to attend. The organization gets together as a whole in the Fall at the MegaMixer and usually we all end up at the Poker Tournament in the Spring.

Why should I join?

Ardmore is filled with many opportunities for a young professional, but sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. Joining Ardmore YP is one easy way to develop a multitude of business and social contacts so that your network of peers grows year by year.

If you don’t meet monthly, how do you know what’s going on?
Newsletters to our membership, Facebook, and Special Eblasts. You can also go to our webpage at http://www.ardmoreyp.com to keep updated with current AYP Happenings.

I’m new to town and don’t know anyone. I don’t want to walk into a scene and feel out of place, which event should I attend first to get my feet wet and get a feel for the organization?
We want you to feel like you’re welcome and we want to help you make those important connections, both socially and professionally! The monthly Lunch Bunch is a great way to quickly meet veteran members, new members and other prospective members just like you! We meet the first Thursday of the month at noon (location varies - check website calendar). It’s a casual lunch with no spotlight on anyone, just getting to know other people your age in town.

So I see you guys in the paper and on the TV, what all do you do in the community?
One of Ardmore YP’s main focus points is on community service. We have dedicated members that serve diligently to set up all sorts of community service and volunteer opportunities! These “Volunteer Opportunities” always turn into social and very fun events! That’s what’s so fun about this organization! Who else can make picking up trash fun?
