YAP has NO lower age limit either!

"Carol" posted this comment to my last post.

"What about those "young professionals" still in college like 18-20 years old. I'm 20 turning 21 in 3 months and am already the director at my company. I was interested in joining your group but since I'm not 21 it won't allow me to join. Are you trying to say that only people 21+ are considered "young professionals" and the rest of us are still babies? I was extremely disappointed in that fact because I know a lot of people my age that are young professionals and we are actually taken seriously. I think you need to actually do some work instead of socializing all day..."

OMG!!! Carol didn't leave any contact info so I hope she sees this post. Carol, I think you might be talking about some other group. Our YAP group absolutely does NOT discriminate by age, at the lower end or the higher end, unless there is some weird Facebook setting I don't know about. I have never heard of anyone not being allowed to join. Did you get some weird error message? YAP is open to everyone. If you are on Facebook, you can join. And we want you! YAP is a support network for all young professionals. Please email me at madsgrant at gmail.com and I will personally ensure that you and any friends join the group without any problems.

p.s. my joke about the "babyYAP" subgroup was tongue-in-cheek like ALL of YAP's officer titles, and all of our references to YAPstars, YAPlings, YAPpies, et.al.... Sorry if that was not obvious.

p.p.s. I WISH I could socialize all day - I would not wish the amount of work I do on my worst enemy.

  1. UPDATE - got an email from Carol. There's some other much less cool group with the same initials, but now we're all sorted.

  2. I'm glad you were able to get back in touch with Carol! For our next YAPpy Hour, maybe she can help us find a venue that is friendly to the under-21 crowd.
