YOUNG URBAN PROFESSIONALS

Young Urban Professionals & Entrepreneur's  aka YUPPIE Thursday's is now 

an Affiliate of Sumter BCC for the Urban Professional Under 45 Years of Age. 

Yuppie Thursdays was a networking event started by Elayne Brunson in 2016, after moving back to Sumter SC from Palm Beach Fl.  Elayne had become accustom to attending a wide variety of networking events in the melting pot of South Florida.  Noting the void in her hometown of Sumter SC she created a networking event of her own.  Since Elayne assisted Derrick Rhame by Co Founding Sumter Back Chamber of Commerce it only made sense to continue with business strategies proven successful.
