Today’s Lunch & Learn was a great opportunity to learn, connect and gain valuable insight from three incredible professionals. 🌟

Lauren Vega shared practical ways young professionals can prioritize mindfulness in their everyday lives, from limiting screen time and spending more time outside to budgeting a personal hour each day to simply listening to what our bodies are trying to tell us.

Tyler Hutchison discussed financial wellness and the importance of tracking your spending to build greater awareness and confidence in your financial decisions.

Dr. Josh Baker shared his experience with personal branding and offered an important perspective on navigating career opportunities: not getting the position you hoped for doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world. It simply means something better is still ahead.

Thank you to Lauren, Tyler and Dr. Baker for sharing your expertise, experiences and encouragement with our group, and thank you to Mountwest for hosting.

We look forward to our next one! 👏

Huntington Young Professionals Chair Julian Pecora recently traveled throughout Germany in his role as Vice President of the Atlantik-Brücke New Bridge Alumni Council, meeting with fellow alumni, young professionals, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and policymakers in Munich, Cologne, Essen, Aachen, and Berlin.

The trip provided an opportunity to exchange ideas on leadership development, talent retention, entrepreneurship, economic development, and community engagement while building relationships with professionals from across the United States and Germany.

We are proud to see HYP represented internationally and look forward to incorporating new ideas on leadership development, talent retention, entrepreneurship, and community building while exploring potential partnerships that can benefit our members and the Huntington region.

Another Meet Up 64 for the books! 🎉

Close to 100 young professionals from across the I-64 corridor braved the weather and gathered where it all began for an evening of networking, food, and meaningful connections. Keynote speaker Brandon Dennison reminded us that real change happens when people choose to be part of the solution, and this room was full of people ready to do just that.

A huge thank you to in Hurricane for hosting us, and to , , and Counsil Connections for helping make this event happen. We’re also grateful to our sponsors, and Family Wealth Group, for their support.
