I hope that most of you have now heard of New View, West Des Moines' young professionals group. Over the last year and a half we have been working to provide young professionals in and around West Des Moines with opportunities for professional development, networking and outreach.
I will give you a little background for those of you who are thinking, “I had no idea West Des Moines had a young professionals group!”
In January 2010 (what now seems like so long ago), a committee was started to explore the idea of a young professionals group in West Des Moines. The group held nine events last year and came into 2011 with a mission statement, a highly motivated group of people, and huge dreams for the next twelve months. We have formed committees including an outreach committee that would love to talk to the YPs in your office about getting involved, a communications committee that excels in social media, and an events committee that has planned six successful events this year.

We plan on having one event per month this year. Our next gathering is at Saints on Thursday, July 7th from 5-7 pm.
I would like to thank everyone involved with New View over the past two years for their time, energy and efforts in getting us where we are today. I would also like to put a challenge out there for you. For those of you who are still sitting there thinking, “I had no idea West Des Moines had a young professionals group”, I challenge you to get involved!

Whether it's passing the word on to some young professionals in your office, emailing Casady at the chamber to get on our events list, or letting me know that you're interested in getting more involved, we would love to hear from you!
