Last night, some of our members had the pleasure of attending the Erie Regional Chamber and Growth Partnership Spirit of Erie! It was a lovely evening gathering of over 700 people from Erie to celebrate all the award winners. We are really proud of the 2026 Erie Regional Chamber and Growth Partnership Young Professional of the Year, our very own Emily Wargo! Please join me in congratulating Emily on her accomplishments in YEP and in Erie as a whole!

UPDATE: unfortunately due to our guest speaker becoming ill our 9/11 reflection and conversation today is cancelled.

Join Young Erie Professionals and Dr. Lena Surzhko Harned, Associate Director of the Public Policy Initiative at Penn State Behrend, this Friday for an evening dedicated to reflection and heartfelt conversation on 9/11 🕯️. Listen to an insightful lecture on the events and their long-lasting impact, then participate in a guided discussion with fellow young professionals.

This program aligns with YEP’s mission to connect and empower Erie’s emerging leaders by providing a space for learning, honest questions, and considering how we can collectively contribute to building a more compassionate, engaged community. 🗣️
