Salem Area Young Professionals

April 24, 2007

Jerry Crane of Professional Mortgage Corporation and A.J. Nash of Copytronix have both joined the YoungPros Leadership Team. The group meets once a month to assist with planning and managing the YoungPros program.

"My greatest reason for being involved with YoungPros can be summed up in one word - potential," said Crane. "I desire to see other professionals reach their potential through education, networking, and other venues."

The Leadership Team members (listed below) will soon be coordinating a time to meet for an annual planning session to determine the right topics and venues for the YoungPros third year which begins in September of '07.

"My goal is to help others strengthen their business ties and become more comfortable meeting their peers in our community," said Nash. "I've found YoungPros to be very welcoming since I became involved."

The Leadership Team wishes to thank all of those who expressed an interest in helping coordinate and line-up future events. If you have an interest in getting more involved in YoungPros, let us know your thoughts by sending an email to: connect@salemyoungpros.com
