Young Professionals Network
Reach Further with Career-Minded Peers
Welcome to the Young Professionals Network
The Young Professionals Network is a dynamic entry point for real estate professionals striving to become more successful in their careers and gain leadership experience. The RASM YPN is empowering the next generation of REALTORS® in Sarasota and Manatee counties.
MISSION
YPN helps young professionals excel in their careers by giving them the tools and encouragement to become involved in four core areas:
- REALTOR® Associations. YPN members attend REALTOR® conferences and pursue leadership roles with their local, state, and national association.
- Real Estate Industry. YPN members stay informed about industry news and trends and take an active role in real estate policy discussions and advocacy.
- Peers. Through in-person events, social media, and mentoring, YPN members seek to share their knowledge and learn from one another.
- Community. YPN members demonstrate a high level of professionalism and volunteering for causes that spark their passion.
