FAQ.
What is a “young professional”?
A young professional is someone 20-ish to 40-ish. That’s it.
I am not a “white collar” worker. Is this program for me?
It absolutely is for you. Anyone can engage with our programming, regardless of your industry or employment status. You can be a farmer, artist, teacher, engineer, nurse, electrician, student, or stay-at-home parent; we welcome all.
I am over 40. Can I still be a member?
For sure. While our suggested age is under 40, we welcome all who want to engage.
Is there a cost to membership?
There is no cost to being a member of Burlington Young Professionals. We understand that one of our state’s biggest challenges is retaining a strong emerging workforce. We feel that having paid membership only creates yet another hurdle for our young professional community.
Burlington Young Professionals is a program of the Lake Champlain Chamber.
The Lake Champlain Chamber believes that together, we make Vermont work. Their mission and programs are best summed up by five distinct points: seeking economic opportunity for all; celebrating business ownership and entrepreneurship; promoting a robust, diversified visitor economy; cultivating community leadership; and nurturing emerging talent.
