Hello YP's!

I just came back from a conference for Chamber professionals where I got some fantastic ideas for the future of our Young Professionals group. Please excuse my ebullience. This is to be the first of many posts in the new YPNova blog. Feel free to comment and leave me some feedback. For those of you who do not already know me, my name is Andrea Short and I am the Membership & Events Coordinator for the Prince William County-Greater Manassas Chamber of Commerce. I manage our Western Prince William (aka Gainesville) branch office.

So why am I starting a blog? Because its about time! We've thought about it for a while and it seems there is no time like the present to get this ball rolling. This blog will keep you informed about Chamber events and our YP group. I will also highlight great upcoming events that you might not know about otherwise. You will have yet another opportunity to build online community. You can leave feedback on recent events and give us (the committee) suggestions for what you would like to see the group doing in the future! Occasionally I will throw in links to articles that I think might be helpful to you as you seek to develop professionally. Maybe we'll even have guest bloggers every now and then.  Lets see where this thing takes us!

We are here to remind you that Prince William County is a great place to live, work, and play.  Hope to see you all at the YP Committee meeting this Friday at 10am in the main office on Center Street in Old Town Manassas.
