Young Professionals of Waseca Committee

“The next generation of Waseca isn’t coming, it’s already here. 

 

As the Young Professionals of Waseca committee, we’re excited to bring together energetic, driven young adults to build stronger connections, spark new ideas, and invest in our professional growth opportunities, and collaborative projects that make Waseca  a vibrant place to live, work, and thrive. Together we are creating momentum for a brighter, more connected Waseca, join us and let’s shape what’s next!”- YPOW President Jay Bulfer. 

 

Mikhail Rostislavovich- President of the Waseca Chamber of Commerce, and Robin Dulas- Executive director will be overseeing the committee and guiding them as they launch this new committee. Mikhail said he could not be prouder of the commitment this group has made to helping the young businesspeople of Waseca, and Robin and I are so excited to watch the committee grow. 

 

This committee is created by Jay Bulfer, of Growing Roots Chiropractic sitting as the President, Riley Lynch of Bomgaars, Ellie James an attorney at Patton, Hoversten and Berg, Jen Losen of Matthew Petsinger Agency, American Family Insurance, Andrew Gonzales of Edward Jones, Jamie Beckstrand an Ag and Commercial Business Banker at United Prairie Bank, Eli Lutgens of the Waseca Pioneer, and Brett Wickersheim a Dentist at Waseca Dental Care.

 

Every committee member has voiced their reasons for joining, and the resounding answer is they want to give back to the community. Most of them were born and raised here, and are now here to help the future generations grow and thrive in this community. Andrew Gonzales stated he “joined the committee to have the opportunity to share ideas, learn from others, and contribute to meaningful initiatives that strengthen our local business environment.”

 

Ellie James stated she wants an active role in supporting community members expand their professional networks and develop their business.
