Events
Bloomington-Normal Young Professionals provides many opportunities throughout the year for our membership to get involved with. We have a set calendar but as the year moves forward we do have changes, updates, and additions. All information about location, speaker, and topic for our membership meetings is provided about a month prior in our Weekly Wednesday Updates (WWU).
Updates to our calendar with added socials or spontaneous events are sent out to our membership through the WWU’s as well. All members are encouraged to read those emails for any changes to our Membership Calendar. If you have questions or concerns, please contact the 2021 President Tessa Mizell.
