Sound Bites From January 2015 Open House
Over 150 Detroit Young Professionals, members and non-members, flocked to Punch Bowl Social for the January 2015 DYP Open House.

Young professionals from a wide range of industries connected with both new and familiar faces and met Detroit Young Professional’s newly elected Leadership Team.
