Something exciting is growing in the Chehalem Valley—and it’s not just local businesses.

We’re thrilled to share that Young Professionals of Chehalem Valley has officially rebranded, and this new look is about so much more than updated colors or a new logo. It’s a reflection of who we are now, where we’re headed, and the kind of inclusive, inspiring community we’re building together.

Why the Rebrand?

When Young Pros was first formed in 2014, the goal was simple: bring together emerging professionals in the area to connect, collaborate, and grow. After a long pause during the pandemic, our 2024 relaunch proved that the heart of this community was still beating strong.

But as we grew, we realized something important: we needed an identity that better represented the energy, diversity, and mission of our group today.

This rebrand is our way of planting deeper roots and making space for new growth.

Our New Visual Identity

Our refreshed look isn’t just stylish—it’s symbolic.

• The Oak Tree Logo: A visual anchor for our new brand, the oak tree represents strength, endurance, and potential. Much like the professionals in our community, it starts small and grows into something impactful—with the right support.
• Our Color Palette: The grounding green highlights growth, learning, and momentum. The blue is a nod to our continued partnership with the Chehalem Valley Chamber of Commerce, which provides the structure and support to help us thrive.
• The Font: We chose a typeface that feels approachable and friendly, while still strong and modern. There’s a subtle playfulness in the curves—a reminder that professional growth doesn’t have to be stiff or intimidating.

We want every piece of this brand to feel like a true reflection of our values: community, curiosity, inclusivity, and growth.

Where We’re Headed

This rebrand isn’t a finish line—it’s a launchpad.

As we move forward, we’re focused on creating events and experiences that are more engaging, more inclusive, and more meaningful for the professionals who call this valley home.

Our goals include:

• Hosting events with real value—from actionable tips to inspiring speakers
• Highlighting local businesses and member success stories
• Building stronger partnerships with other organizations doing great work
• Creating space for new voices and diverse industries to be part of the conversation
• Making it easier to join, participate, and get value from the group—whether you’re a small business owner, a freelancer, a team member, or a founder

Still Us—Just Growing

While the look has changed, our mission hasn’t. Young Pros is still the same community-first group you know and love—we’re just growing up a little.

We’re so grateful for every member, every sponsor, and every person who’s shown up to make this group what it is. And we can’t wait to keep evolving alongside you.

Let’s keep growing—together.
