NEW UPDATE!

As a value add to your annual membership, The PVF Roundtable Board of Directors have implemented an additional two spots designated for young professionals.  This is in addition to your four spots included with your membership in an effort to allow companies to bring their young professionals to our networking events. 

 

What defines a young professional?  The PVF Roundtable has identified individuals 40 years and under as a young professional.

 

Additional attendees that you register that exceed the allotted 4 member spots or 2 designated young professional spots will be billed to the member company at a rate of  $100  each.

Your membership includes 4 attendees, plus 2 young professionals for each networking event. Special events such as the Golf Tournament, TroutBlast Fishing Tournament, and YPs Sporting Clays Classic clay shoot are not included.
