Salem Area Young Professionals

Historic Deepwood Estate was the site for the YoungPros 2-Year Anniversary this year. The evening was an opportunity to thank the Leadership Team which works on a monthly basis behind the scenes to coordinate Young Professional events throughout the year.

Leslie Thompson of Ticor Title was welcomed as the new Chair for Salem YoungPros by former Chair Tom Hoffert of Don Pancho Authentic Mexican Foods.

The evening's main focus was an address by Regional Vice President of West Coast Bank Ken Jundt who has been working on community initiatives for over a decade. YoungPros now have the chance to win a free iPod every month by answer three multiple choice questions online from our featured speaker. Those who answer the questions right will be entered into a drawing to win the free iPod at October's Breakfast event taking place at Illahe Hills Country Club.

If you have ideas, insight, or feedback on how to make the Young Professionals program better, contact any one of the Leadership Team members below. They look forward to your calls!
