EPOP organizes several programs created for young professionals:
Hosted on the last Tuesday of every month, these events provide networking opportunities with other professionals, and help broaden your knowledge of Portland’s business and civic community. EPOP organizes two variations of Last Tuesday events:
Nonprofit Last Tuesdays feature two nonprofit partner organizations, offering you a chance to engage civically on a higher level and learn about various charitable missions in our community.
Professional Development Last Tuesdays feature guest speakers discussing specific aspects of professional development.
This event series is geared toward connecting emerging professionals with established civic and business leaders in the Portland region. Exclusives occur three times a year and include a moderated yet informal Q&A session with a featured guest or panel. There also is an opportunity to network and enjoy complimentary drinks and appetizers.
Programming and events for Emerging Professionals of Portland (EPOP) are designed in collaboration with a volunteer-led leadership committee.
