History

Formerly known as Young Evansville Professionals, the organization was established by the Metropolitan Evansville Area Chamber of Commerce as an initiative resulting from recommendations from the Hudson Study regarding workforce. Thus began the charter and non-profit organization YEP on April 19, 2001.  

After operating for nine years as a separate entity, in October 2010, the organization formally restructured as the Young Professionals Network under the umbrella of The Chamber of Commerce of Southwest Indiana.
