A Word About Membership

Our Membership

People have asked us, "Who can be a member of 13Pro? What does 'professional' mean exactly?" 13Pro is open to everyone between the ages of 21-40ish, and this may include students as well as those who may not be currently employed. The term professional was meant to encompass the majority of our membership, who are generally considered to be young in terms of their work experience, as well as in years. It was formed to connect these people in a number of ways, helping them to make friends and meet peers in a social setting, to network and develop their own skills through professional development activities (i.e. workshops, conferences, seminars, etc.), and to get involved in/give back to their respective communities. We have a very diverse group in 13Pro currently, from attorneys to computer experts, from journalists to university and non-profit organization employees. So, whatever your expertise or trade, we would love to have you join our exciting new organization!
