The Amy Jennings YP of the Year Award
The Young Professionals Connection (YPC) and its members are committed to attracting and retaining young professionals to the Greater Des Moines community. This December, the organization will recognize the individual who best exemplifies the leadership qualities of its longest-tenured president, Amy Jennings.
2007 was the inaugural year for the Amy Jennings YP of the Year Award. The award was presented by the YPC board of directors to Amy Jennings after she completed her fourth year of service on the board. It was then proclaimed that the award would be given annually to a young professional who demonstrated the mission of YPC through leadership in professional development, civic, charitable, and social endeavors in Greater Des Moines.
