Eight-time World Cup Medalist Will Inspire YPs

Eight-time World Cup Medalist and Paralympic Snowboarder Nicole Roundy is the keynote speaker for the Kansas YP Summit. The inspirational theme of the 2017 Kansas Young Professionals (YP) Summit is Ad Astra – a Latin phrase meaning “to the stars.” And keynote speaker Nicole Roundy will provide attendees with plenty of motivation to reach upward as she shares her personal story of overcoming adversity to achieve her goals. Roundy rocketed to fame as a World Cup Medalist and member of the U.S. Paralympic Snowboard Team after losing her right leg to cancer. She'll share her thoughts on how to set and attain personal and professional goals at the day-long event that is scheduled for Friday, May 5 from 7:45 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Chamber’s affiliate, the Young Professionals of Wichita (YPW), is hosting the event at the Hyatt Regency Wichita. This is the eighth statewide Summit and the second time it has been held in Wichita. The event is aimed at young professionals who want to develop their professional skills, connect with others and learn new ways to channel their passion for revitalizing their communities.
