The Young Professionals of the Chippewa Valley committee members attend monthly meetings and a minimum of six events each year. They are very dedicated volunteers that are committed to the success of Young Professionals.

If you are a member of the YPCV and are interested in serving on the committee, complete an application and return it to the Eau Claire Chamber of Commerce. The committee will only accept one person from each business in an effort to keep the committee diverse. Preference will be given to Chamber members, but a non-Chamber member YPCV member will be considered. The committee will review applications in February and August of each year and fill open spots. No more than 22 people will serve on the committee. The following are considered when selecting new members: time in Young Professionals, how active they are in the group, company, job, reason they want to be on the committee, and what they will bring to the committee.
