Membership Committee:
Are you new to Durango? Are you simply looking to meet new people and grow your existing network? We would love to welcome you to our diverse group of young professionals and help you deepen roots within the Durango community.

Each month presents new opportunities and new ways to interact with fellow YPOD and community members alike. Our monthly Happy Hours and business tours facilitate networking and learning from Durango’s vibrant local leadership. We always need more people to help engage members at these events, and you would be part of making sure our members feel welcomed and happy to be a part of YPODs! 

Events &Social Committee:
We love to create fun, engaging social gatherings to promote connecting and interaction amongst the group. Planning our monthly happy hours and our get togethers is a great way to get involved.  If you prefer a casual setting, this is a great place to jump in!

Philanthropic Committee:
As involved young professionals, giving back to our community is essential in leaving a lasting impact. This is our chance to make a difference in various reaches of the community, such as outdoor space revitalization, youth engagement, food drives, etc.  If this is an area you are passionate about, please share your ideas on additional ways in which we can serve our community.
