Mission Statement: 
To enrich the lives of Alexandria area young professionals in their 20s and 30s through networking, education and community involvement.
The Alexandria Area Young Professionals (AAYP) is an organization formed from the Alexandria Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce to represent Alexandria area professionals in their 20s and 30s. Meet other professionals in your age demographic with similar goals, develop your professional career and establish long-lasting friendships.

​We host monthly luncheons the first Thursday of each month where you have the opportunity to network, learn more about the Alexandria area and explore new ways to get involved in the community. Luncheons include great food, a variety of networking activities, educational speakers, prizes and business announcements.

​We also host quarterly social events at a variety of locations. Socials include Adopt-A-Highway ditch clean-ups, BARGO, Coat Drives, Trivia Nights, Escape Rooms, Paint-and-Sips and more. All of these allow you the opportunity to meet fellow young professionals in a more social setting. 
​Inclement Weather Cancellation Policy: 
The Alexandria Area Young Professionals organization follows School District #206 Inclement Weather Policy. If school is cancelled or closes early, luncheons and/or socials will be cancelled.
Communication: 
As a member of AAYP, you can expect an email notifying you of the cancellation. If you are not a current member, you can check our Facebook page for updates or call 320-763-3161 or email ypalexandria@gmail.com.
