Upcoming Events
An Afternoon with Thomas Paine!
Join us Thursday, July 23, from 4:00–5:00 pm at Eva's Treats for a unique afternoon of frozen yogurt, conversation, and American history!
We're excited to welcome Ashland Chautauqua Scholar Martin Lahman, who will be portraying Thomas Paine. As a fellow young professional, Martin will share how he became involved in bringing American historical figures to life through performance, what inspires his work, and the research that goes into each portrayal.
If you attend his full Chautauqua performance on Wednesday, July 22, at 7:00 pm, this is a great opportunity to hear more about his work, ask questions, and continue the conversation. Come away with a few fascinating insights into American history you may not have known!
A special thank you to Eva's Treats for hosting our group! Grab your favorite frozen yogurt (available for purchase) and join us for this casual, roundtable-style discussion.

“As someone who doesn’t live but works in Ashland, I am grateful for the opportunities AYP has provided me.

“Being a part of Ashland Young Professionals (AYP) has been invaluable in allowing me to serve through impactful community service and fostering meaningful connections. Participating in AYP's volunteer initiatives has allowed me to contribute to Ashland's growth and well-being. Additionally, through AYP's mentorship programs and networking events, I've built great relationships with fellow young professionals across various fields in the community. Emily and the board do such amazing work.”
