Andrew Kozak, Meteorologist at KSNW-TV3, visited the Wichita Metro Chamber’s Web site before moving to Wichita from Wyoming four months ago and was excited to find a young professionals organization.

“I moved here by myself and knew a group like this would be a great way to network and meet other professionals in the same situation,” Kozak testified. “Through YP, I’ve met people with similar interests who really want to be involved in Wichita.”

Kozak believes YPW can enhance the quality of life for those, like him, who move here alone. “It creates a social net with a group of people who really like Wichita,” he says.

Kozak encourages young professionals to “absolutely” get involved if you want to make a difference in this community.

“Young professionals have a powerful voice with the growth of YP,” Kozak points out. “Those not involved in YPW are missing out…it’s really an untapped resource for them.”
