[caption id="attachment_211" align="alignright" width="300"] Young Professional Membership Committee Co-Chairs Dianna Lyngholm and Jaci Sprague celebrate reaching 200 members![/caption]This past week we celebrated our 200th Greater Mankato Young Professionals (YPs) member.  In fact, today we reached our 204th YP member and the numbers just keep climbing.  Why is this important to members of Greater Mankato Growth and to our community as a whole?  It's important because the growth in the YPs is not just a number -- it's indicative of the energy and excitement that is growing among those who have recently entered our workforce and have chosen to live and work here.
