Voices of YPA

What Our Members Are Saying

Amber Edmonston

Marketing Coordinator,  SME CPA

“I have thoroughly enjoyed being a member of YPA. As a non-native Augustan, one of the biggest challenges I’ve faced is breaking through the social barriers that come with moving to a small town in adulthood. YPA has allowed me to overcome those barriers and not only become closer with my coworkers, but be more comfortable networking with those in my age group with similar aspirations.”

Quentin White, MBA

Director of Campus Life and Recruitment, Augusta Tech

“Joining YPA has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my professional career! It connected me with a supportive network of professionals who are not only driven but genuinely invested in each other’s success. Through YPA, I’ve gained valuable leadership experience, built lasting friendships, and found new opportunities to grow and network. It’s helped me feel truly rooted in this community.”

“When I moved to Augusta, I didn’t know anyone. YPA has been a great way to meet other people who are also just starting out their career here, whether they are from here or new to the area. It has also been a great way to get involved in the community and find out about other events and activities that are going on in the area. I definitely recommend YPA for anyone looking to make connections and get involved in Augusta!”

Kate Monahan

Staff II Auditor, SME CPA

“Being a member of YPA has been one of the most low-cost, high-reward experiences of my professional journey. It’s more than networking - it’s a group of awesome people focused on impact and growth. Whether it's making meaningful connections, volunteering, or hearing from one of the incredible speakers YPA hosts, I leave every event feeling inspired and better equipped to reach my personal and professional goals.”
