YPConnect is a new initiative by the Collaborative Chambers Alliance (CCA). The goal is to foster a culture of collaboration between existing young professional groups in the greater Cleveland area in order to provide networking, professional development, and educational opportunities for professionals age 22-40 in Northeast Ohio.

We invite you to join the 19 different Chambers of Commerce in the CCA as well as six other young professional organizations from around Northeast Ohio for a great evening of networking, collaboration, and connection.

• Cleveland 20-30 Club
• Cleveland Global Shapers

This event is open to all but is specifically designed for young professionals age 22-40. The cost is $10 for anyone who is a member in good standing of a CCA Chamber (view list of participating chambers) or anyone who is a member in good standing with one of the participating young professional organizations listed above.
