Valley Young Professionals Turn 10, Rebrands As ‘FUEL’

The Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the rebrand of the Young Emerging Professionals(YEP), now FUEL.

The rebrand comes as YEP celebrates it’s 10th Anniversary this upcoming October.

All of us at the Chamber are truly proud of the leaders & members of FUEL and congratulate them on reaching this important milestone. Now more than ever, it is vital that we provide our young professionals with a vehicle to advance their careers through social networking, professional development and community engagement,” said Bill Purcell, president, Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce

But what is FUEL?

FUEL is an all-volunteer council of the Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce that seeks to create and connect a diverse network of young professionals (21 – 40 years old)working and living in the Lower Naugatuck Valley region by fostering an environment that empowers young professionals to engage in our community through active participation. FUEL collaborates with local leaders, businesses, and organizations to assist in recruiting and retaining the region’s top talent to cultivate and nurture our future leaders.

Chairwoman, Melanie Strout comments, YEP has been a staple in the Valley community, connecting, developing, and supporting young professionals; but a lot has changed in the last 10 years and with that comes new energy and opportunity. Our Advisory Council was intentional when deciding that FUEL would not be an acronym, rather it is a description of our collective actions.”

FUEL invites the public of all ages to attend our 10th Anniversary Birthday Bash hosted by BAD SONS Brewing Co. in Derby on Tuesday, October 2nd from 5:30 – 7:30pm.
