Frequently Asked Questions:
What is a Main Line Chamber Young Professional (MLC-YP)?
The MLC-YP program is designed to connect, empower, and engage the local young talented workforce between the ages of 21-40. Our goal is to make a significant difference in the professional development of our members and to make a positive impact in our community. At our events, YPs have opportunities to meet other YPs and community leaders to build connections and relationships, although not necessarily sales.
What type of job do I have to have to be included?
Young professionals come in all shapes, sizes, nationalities, backgrounds, industries, and educational experience. Accountants, artists, bankers, engineers, non-profit workers, graduate students, small business owners and everyone in between is welcome in MLC-YP.
Do I have to be a Main Line Chamber member to join MLC-YP?
MLC-YP is a program of The Main Line Chamber of Commerce and is designed to encourage and support the growth and development of our area’s young, talented workforce and open to all young professionals. A Main Line Chamber membership is NOT required to attend MLC-YP events but a non-member fee may be applied to non-Chamber MLC-YP members attending other Chamber programs and events.
Filling a MLC-YP leadership role such as a committee volunteer, and sponsoring an event and/or participating as a guest speaker, requires a membership in The Main Line Chamber of Commerce.
