WAVE Young Professionals Network is a NEW networking and professional development program for those under age 40 in the Brainerd Lakes Area. This program is organized by the Brainerd Lakes Chamber and is driven by a team of young leaders representing a wide variety of industries across our community.

WAVE YPN welcomes membership from all individuals aged 18-39 who live in the Brainerd Lakes Area. Cost to join is $240 per year, which may be covered by employers as an investment in professional growth. We encourage all young people from our Chamber community to join WAVE and to take advantage of its numerous benefits.
We host monthly, annual, and pop-up events with a wide variety of topics. Dates and times vary to allow our members a variety of options to get involved. Monthly events have an emphasis on professional development while pop-up events are causal get-togethers that include a fun, low (or no) cost activity.
