FAQs

Why are we called Link?

 
Why are we called Link?

Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) lies at the heart of our network and continues to be a hugely important factor in enabling us to create a sustainable business forum that supports and nurtures long lasting relationships. With that in mind, our old name (Young Professionals Network) no longer truly reflected our network and what we stood for and did not represent all of our members or audiences. Inclusion in the YPN was never based on age, but more aimed at those in the earlier stages of their careers. The use of the word "young" was therefore misleading and alienated some of our audiences. 

Our new name Link reflects the purpose of the group to link up early career professionals and to encourage the building of relationships and networks.  This means sustaining a platform where everyone is included, valued and equipped with skills for today and the future.
