WELCOME!                                     

 

Sail, Young Professionals Network of Manitowoc County is catering exclusively to the active lifestyle of today's young professionals. By providing professional, networking, and social opportunities for young professionals, Sail is creating a more vibrant and connected community.

 

"One of the many reasons we support Sail is the profound impact the organization has on our young professionals.  At Schenck, we have approximately 18 employees of which 11 of them fit into the category of "young professional".  Sail has allowed our staff to grow both personally and professionally through networking with other individuals in a welcoming environment."  - Chad Zeller, Schenck SC

 

"Attending Business After Hours events puts me in direct contact with other Chamber members that may have not been able to attend Sail events. Attending theses events with the Chamber has branched out my professional and personal networking references by just being able to enjoy a different atmosphere."  - Jolene Szydel, Orthopaedic Associates
