This organization continually searches for involvement and professional growth opportunities in a professional, fun environment.
Community Involvement
Events EYP are annually involved in:
"10 Under 40" Awards Ceremony: Within this ceremony, 10 community members under the age of 40 that demonstrate excellence in professional and community focused areas are presented with an honorable plaque and title. This ceremony is specific to EYP.
NJCAA Division II World Series: We partner with teams who have made it to the NJCAA Division II World series to do something special when they arrive in Enid. EYP members want to welcome people from all over, not just from our local area.
Enid Regional Development Alliance: EYP members are encouraged to attend all ERDA events and ceremony's, including quarterly lunch and learns and other events the ERDA might host.
ERDA's Summer Intern program: Every summer, the ERDA helps local businesses find, hire and house summer interns. During one of our Network @ Nite events, EYP invites all interns to get them integrated into our organization and to allow them to meet new people. A mentorship program for the summer interns is coming! If you are interested, please let one of the Board Members know!
