Mission: To engage and empower current and future leaders in the Fond du Lac area through professional development, networking, and social opportunities.
Vision: We actively recruit young professionals with diverse backgrounds and ideas to participate in programs that advance the personal and professional development of our members. Together, we will be agents of change, guiding our community forward as it evolves.
The Young Professionals of Fond du Lac came to fruition within a matter of a few months in the Spring/Summer of 2004. During this time, a group of 12 young professionals from the Fond du Lac area met and founded YPF. Essentially, this group determined the name, the mission and the vision of YPF, created bylaws and elected the founding board of directors.
