Lexington Emerging Professionals Network

The Lexington Emerging Professionals Network (LEPN) was started in October of 2016, to provide architectural emerging professionals in the Lexington area an opportunity to network and participate in fellowship with their peers. The LEPN will hold monthly meet-ups at local restaurants, where all area emerging professionals will be welcomed regardless of AIA membership. The goal of the LEPN is to engage all emerging professionals in the larger Lexington architectural community.

If you are an emerging professional in the Lexington area, please follow them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/lexepnetwork, and stay up-to-date on future events.
