Bowling Green Young Professionals hosted its November Brunch & Learn at The Club at Olde Stone, bringing together members for a morning of connection, conversation, and leadership insight.

The event opened with networking over brunch, followed by welcoming remarks from Brittany Bennett, 2025 BGYP Chair. Brittany also shared the history of Olde Stone, highlighting its vision, growth, and role as a premier gathering place in the community.

The highlight of the morning was the Young Executive Panel, featuring four outstanding local leaders who are making a meaningful impact in their industries and in the Bowling Green community:

  • Chase Carpenter, Owner, Bundles of Joy Daycare
  • Suzanne Leach, Physical Therapist & Clinic Director, Rehabilitation & Performance Institute
  • Mitchell Parks, Plant Superintendent, Crown Holdings, Inc.
  • Katie Zimmerman, CEO & Principal Designer, Zimmerman Interiors, LLC

Each panelist shared insights on their career journeys, what has contributed most to their success, how they stay motivated, and the lessons they have learned along the way. Their reflections provided practical guidance for young professionals looking to grow, lead, and make an impact in their fields. The Q&A session that followed allowed attendees to dig deeper into topics that matter most in today’s workplace.

To close the program, Brittany expressed appreciation for the partners who made the event possible. The Club at Olde Stone generously hosted the space; Sublime Media Group served as the Brunch & Learn Sponsor; and Mint Gaming & Entertainment continues its support as the 2025 BGYP Champion Partner. Their commitment ensures BGYP can continue offering high-quality programming and meaningful experiences for young professionals across the region.

Looking ahead, our BGYP Membership Drive launches in December, followed by the New Year Social in January. And stay tuned — the 2026 lineup is shaping up to be our biggest and most energizing yet.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the November Brunch & Learn. We can’t wait to see you in 2026!
