Ardmore Young Professionals (AYP) is a network of individuals who connect through social and professional opportunities, engage with diverse views, serve the community, and lead better with support and focus.
Join a network of professionals and friends. A membership application form may be downloaded on ardmoreyp.com. Dues are $25/year.
Events are worthwhile and often: leadership series, Dutch lunch bunch, happy hours, mega mixers, holiday parties, and water park family night are great opportunities to broaden your association and develop your connections.
Service inspires leaders, and our energy is contagious. AYP coordinates community efforts for the yearly school supply drive and a winter coat drive, which collected 155 coats in 2011. Monthly Adopt-A-Spot and the A2A Marathon water station take us outside. AYP members serve on numerous local and statewide boards, including the Ardmore Chamber of Commerce and United Way of South Central Oklahoma.
