Kentucky REALTORS® Young Professionals Network (YPN): Inspiring and Supporting fellow Kentucky REALTORS® toward a career enriched in Leadership, Community, Education and Advocacy.
What can YPN do for me?
YPN provides you with the support and knowledge from a group of your REALTOR® peers along with a path to leadership in your community, association and at the state and national levels.
A recent survey sent out on behalf of NAR's YPN asking members about their path to leadership after YPN involvement reported that many members now produce at above-average levels in sales volume and transaction sides and continue to participate in association leadership roles.
- MEET YOUR COMMITTEE

- C2EX
- Commitment to Excellence (C2EX) from the National Association of REALTORS® empowers REALTORS® to evaluate, enhance and showcase their highest levels of professionalism. It’s not a course, class or designation—it’s an Endorsement that REALTORS® can promote when serving clients and other REALTORS®. This innovative engagement tool encourages participation in all levels of the REALTOR® organization, and at no additional cost.
Get started on your journey today by logging in to www.C2EX.realtor and taking any of the 11 self-assessments to measure your proficiency in 10 aspects of professionalism (11 for brokers), ranging from customer service to use of technology. The platform generates a customized learning path and recommends experiences and resources to enhance your individual skillset.
- RPAC Pledge
- After you join YPN, consider taking the YPN RPAC pledge. It’s a major commitment to the REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) —$10,000 over 10 years. The pledge promotes a culture of investing and fosters a strong group of politically active YPN members. You can take the pledge with a $100 initial investment. Learn more at the REALTOR® Party website or by contacting Kyle Tetzlaff at ktetzlaff@kyrealtors.com
