Mission

The Young Professionals Committee of the Timmins Chamber of Commerce serves as a committee for young professionals, young entrepreneurs and those new to the community who are seeking to build their business networks by getting involved in the Timmins Chamber of Commerce and connecting with other young professionals. The committee aspires to assist in the engagement and retention of young professionals by organizing networking and professional development initiatives.

What is a Young Professional?

A Young Professional is a career-oriented person seeking to develop and strengthen his or her business network. Young Professionals exist across all business and employment sectors: from bankers, financial advisors, teachers, nurses and engineers, Young Professionals comprise a diverse group. Generally, a Young Professional is anywhere from age 25 to 40; however, this is not always the case. Young Professional events are inclusive and geared to those new to the community, those new to a given career and those new to the work world in general.
