5 Ways to Maximize Your EYP Membership

Being part of Edmond Young Professionals (EYP) is more than just attending events—it’s about building connections, growing personally and professionally, and contributing to our vibrant Edmond community. Whether you’re a new member or a seasoned one, here are five ways to make the most of your EYP experience:


1. Attend Events Regularly

EYP offers a variety of events designed to cater to different interests and goals, from networking happy hours to professional development workshops. By showing up consistently, you’ll not only grow your network but also stay in the loop about opportunities in Edmond.

Pro Tip: Mark your calendar for the next Lunch Bunch or join our signature Connects events to start your day with great conversations.


2. Volunteer and Get Involved

EYP is built on the passion and involvement of its members. Consider volunteering at a Volunteers event. It’s a fantastic way to develop leadership skills, make meaningful contributions, and build deeper relationships within the group.

Spotlight Opportunity: Volunteer with different non profits in Edmond with our EYP Volunteers events hosted quarterly. This is a great way to give back to Edmond in an impactful way and find an avenue you are passionate about serving in.


3. Leverage Networking Opportunities

EYP isn’t just about professional connections—it’s also about making friends and building a support system. Make an effort to connect with others at events, exchange ideas, and follow up afterward. You never know who might inspire you or help you achieve your next career goal.

Pro Tip: Come prepared with a short introduction about yourself and a few questions to break the ice with new people.


4. Engage in Leadership Development

EYP offers unique opportunities to grow as a leader through tailored programs and initiatives. Participate in workshops, take on leadership roles within the Advisory Board, or attend speaker series events to refine your skills and gain valuable insights from seasoned professionals.

Did You Know? EYP’s Leadership Latte series brings in accomplished professionals to share their experiences and offer actionable advice for young leaders.


5. Support Local Businesses and Initiatives

EYP is all about strengthening our local community. Make an effort to support Edmond’s small businesses, attend community events, and champion local causes. Being an active member of the Edmond community reflects your commitment to its growth and success.

Pro Tip: Follow EYP’s social media channels for updates on local events and initiatives that align with our mission.


Bonus Tip: Share Your Story

We’d love to hear how EYP has impacted your life, career, or connections. Share your experiences with us, and we may feature you in an upcoming blog or social post!

By fully engaging with all that EYP has to offer, you’ll not only maximize your membership but also become a stronger, more connected professional in the Edmond community. Let’s grow together!
