Delaware Young Professionals Network

Happy Holidays from the #DYPN committee to all of you! Thank you for an amazing year and we can't wait to see what's in store for us in 2025✨ #DYPN #youngprofessionals #debiz

#DYPN Committee Spotlight: Seth Collett Seth is a developer at LNWA & Arbor Management and his favorite activity is surf fishing at Delaware beaches. "The DYPN has hosted many educational panels where I've refined my networking and public speaking skills. The happy hours and events we've had have given me a chance to practice these lessons, and as a result I'm able to go to industry related conferences and communicate challenges and solutions specific to my job more effectively," says Seth about why he chose to join the committee. His favorite event so far has been our "YPs and OGs" Kickball Game: "Kickball was such an outrageous idea at the time, but it was such a unique way to network that it's left a big impression on me. I can't wait to play again." #DYPN #YoungProfessionals #debiz

#SelfCareSunday Taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of business. This #SelfCareSunday, we’re featuring Autumn Keller, a young professional who knows the importance of balance. "I personally enjoy getting outside with friends and staying active. Whether it's playing volleyball in the @heydayathletic league or joining wellness walks organized by the @spreadgoodkarmafoundation, I love being able to move my body and know that I’ve gotten active any day of the week." Self-care can look different for everyone, but the key is finding what brings you joy and helps you recharge. Whether it’s an outdoor activity, socializing with friends, or simply taking time to pause, prioritize your well-being this week!
