Affiliated with the Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce, YPD exists to connect young professionals with each other, the business community, and the city in which we live, work, play, and do business.
YP Luncheons take place on the third Wednesday of the month from 11:30 am - 1 pm unless otherwise noted. Lunch is provided with your registration.
We are thrilled to be the recipients of a DRA Core Grant to fund our YP Luncheons.
Upcoming YP Luncheons
- Apr. 17, 2024 | Molly Knuth, Marketing Consultant, Molly Knuth Media | SEEN: Methods for Attracting and Nurturing Clients and Customers | Molly Knuth is on a mission to help women rewrite how they live and work on their own terms. She knows modern women want to grow families, build businesses or side hustles, impact others for the better, and be a positive force in our communities…and they want to have a fulfilling life along the way.
In the past 7 years Molly has gone from a stay-at-home mom to a freelance social media marketer to running a social media agency, and now working as a fractional CMO consulting and advising businesses on all things marketing and host of The Found Podcast. She and her husband Ryan have four kiddos whom they raise on their little farm in Eastern Iowa alongside cats, chickens, corn, and cows.
What she’s learned in her time in business is that it’s not just about going full force or any one-size-fits-all strategy for success in business or in life. It takes you leaning into your unique gifts, intuition, and goals, and learning about who you are as a person along the way. | Please register by Wed., Apr. 10 at 1 PM
