Young Professionals of Knoxville: About
Young Professionals of Knoxville (YPK) is an exciting new movement of dedicated, thriving young professionals in Knoxville, TN and the surrounding areas. We seek to develop relationships with ambitious, skilled, and selfless members across a myriad of careers and industries within the Knoxville community.
Casey Peters and Brandon Clarke established YPK in August of 2006. The idea stemmed from the absence of a relationship between Knoxville business owners, the community, and the next generation of business leaders. We are looking to support business operations in our region while being encircled with the knowledge, experience, and humbleness of those established within Knoxville business.
Young Professionals, we invite you to better the community, establish meaningful relationships, and challenge yourself. Review our website and find your interest and establish yourself as Knoxville’s next generation of business and community leaders.
