Denver Young Professionals has grown by leaps and bounds in just a year and a half with just a hair over 3000 members, thus making it the place for young professionals in Denver. Events over the last 6 months average 300-400 people through the door.
Serving a classy professional crowd has drawn quiet a bit of attention in even the last 8 months. Denver Business Journal’s write up on DYP President Ira Johnson and COYP founder Jon Severson was almost 2 pages. Others from Denver Examinar all the way up to Colorado Biz Magazine’s own editor Mike Cote have devoted time in their hollowed pages to Denver Young Professionals. A true testament of what’s to come.
Coming up for the rest of this year you’ll see collaboration at our October event with Gesher City, AMA Up!, AD2, and the Denver Film Society’s YP offering at the next film festival. There are also outings in the works with the Denver Nuggets as well as the Avalanche yet this year as well as next. Right before Christmas DYP and Denver Gives will be teaming up to bring you the 1st Annual DYP/DG Charity Toy Drive which will also be co-sponosered by some of your favorite industry/cultural specific yp groups.
Working towards next year there is a ski trip in the works for February which will be a collaboration between all the Colorado Young Professionals groups. Volunteer days, community outreach, professional training, and other such events are also in the works.
Denver Young Professionals is the only group of it’s type in Denver and while it’s just a bit over a year old the leadership has over 15 years experience in bringing it all together. Colorado YP founder Jon Severson has personally been running and consulting young professionals groups since 1999 who’s efforts put him as one of the leading experts in the country. He is currently donating his time towards helping the conflict torn country of Cyprus get it’s own Young Professionals program going. More soon on that.
See you at Casselman’s Oct. 21st!
Sincerely,
Denver YP Team
