NEK YPN Open Meeting
Join the NEK Young Professionals Network for food, conversation, and an open meeting to steer how we can support YPs in the Kingdom.
We're happy to welcome you to our 2026 Open Meeting!
The NEK Young Professionals Network (NEK YPN) is a resource for young professionals in the Northeast Kingdom to build connections, foster community, and enhance personal and professional development.
This year’s Open Meeting will explore the theme ‘Why NEK?’ as we reflect on what draws folks to the Kingdom and what keeps us here (or why you're considering leaving). We’ll gather for conversation (and food!) to look back on 2025 and welcome your input on how we can grow as a more valuable resource in 2026 and beyond.
