Do you consider yourself a current or future young professional?
Whether you're 21 years old and just starting out in the world of adulthood, or you're 29 and heavily focused on your career, or you're 35 with a major concern with the direction of your community, the Young Professionals of Henry County is for you.
We consider a "young professional" to be someone who has specific goals, or an idea of where they want to be at some point in the future, and has the confidence and/or know-how to achieve them.
By "young," we are referring less to age, and more to a mindset. If you believe the sky is the limit and anything you put your energy into is possible, you fit this mindset. And by "professional," we mean that you have some skill or expertise that will help you toward some goal you have, whether it be in a given profession, or other venture.
The YP group is designed to energize, engage, and empower young professionals, ages 21-40 (with exceptions for the "young at heart"), in our community by providing opportunities for YP members to actively shape the future of Henry County Georgia.

Admission is only $5.00 and will include a variety of hors d'oeuvres and tea/water. Cash bar. *If you are unable to attend, but would still like to contribute a gift to the Connecting Henry Community Christmas Program, you may drop-off your donation to Seasons Bistro during normal business hours.
