Who are the YPE?
Established in June of 2005, the Young Professionals of Evanston (YPE) is a group of inspired young professionals working in conjunction with The Evanston Chamber of Commerce to connect individuals living or working in the community with the opportunity to expand their personal networks, careers, and build lasting connections with many commercial, charitable, and artistic venues in Evanston.

We regularly host social and business networking events and partnerships with local Evanston nonprofit organizations so that we can strengthen our community and support those in need.
