Events are the heart of YPK. They are the primary way we connect with, develop, and serve each other and our local Knoxville community. In addition to four quarterly General Membership Meetings, YPK holds a number of professional development, social and community outreach events throughout the year. While most events are open to everyone, certain events are open to members only.
