Testimonials

Ankeny Young Professionals

“I joined AYP to increase my circle of friends and colleagues within the central Iowa area. AYP has also provided an opportunity for me to give back to the community. One way in which I contributed to the betterment of Ankeny was through the 2008 United Way fundraising campaign. Knowing that my efforts will help those in need is a great way to feel good about my community and myself. On a social level it’s beneficial to meet likeminded people to share common work and life experiences. I would recommend any young professional in Ankeny to join the group as it has been well worth my time and it’s easy to get a lot out of the experiences AYP offers.”

“I’ve enjoyed being a member of Ankeny Young Professionals over the past few years. Initially I joined to gain exposure for Simpson’s Ankeny campus, but have since earned many more benefits by getting actively involved. Not only do I have the opportunity to network and get to know professionals in other job industries, I appreciate the learning events and like to take part in the fun, social gatherings. Along the way, I have met some great people that I now consider close friends. Participation on the AYP committees has given me the chance to contribute to the group and has provided me a strong connection to the Ankeny community.”

“I have always believed that networking should be a key component in running my business. AYP offers a great opportunity to network with others in the community that are in a similar stage in building their careers. I have been able to network and learn something new at every event that I have attended. If you are looking to build your business and meet people with some fresh ideas you should consider joining the Ankeny Young Professionals.”
