Young Professionals Group
Committee Chair: Dan Altenburg
Our Mission

The Rapid City Area Chamber of Commerce Young Professionals Group,(YPG), is a networking organization of dedicated, talented young professionals in the Rapid City Area. The YPG began with an explosive launch in March 2007 with a simple agenda: “To enrich our community by uniting and developing our young professionals.” We invite you to help build upon the momentum by joining this dynamic group.
Our Vision
A young Professional is a goal oriented individual between the ages of 21-40 with the mind set to pursue a career path. It is not so much the job or vocation that defines the Young Professional as it is the individual’s drive and investment in his or her own future, and consequently the future of the Black Hills community and our nation as a whole.
