What is the Young Chamber Professionals of Lake Cumberland? The YCPs are young professional people in the Somerset/Lake Cumberland area ages 21-40. Although this is our voting membership age, anyone who is enthusiastic, wanting to network, and give back to our community is welcome to join us. The YCP group meets monthly for a Luncheon and periodic Social Events. The YCP group is also involved in community activities through volunteer work and fundraisers.
When do you have a meeting? We hold Luncheon meetings on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at Noon. The location changes monthly so check out our calendar of events for details of the next meeting and sign up for our newsletter to receive information on events involving the YCP. We usually have a speaker of the month and have a business spotlight on one of our members.
What are Social Events? From time to time we will have events taking place after hours in order to have an opportunity to network with other young professionals in a more relaxed atmosphere. The locations and events are flexible. Some past Social Events have included a trip to a Lexington Legends game, tour of Sinking Valley Winery, SomerBlast, cornhole tournaments, etc.
