Asheville Young Professionals

Money touches every part of our lives—but most of us were never taught how to make it work for us.
Whether you're trying to understand how to save, invest, or just finally get a handle on where all your money is going, Summer of Money is where your journey begins.

Join Colton Brookshire from The Brookshire Garside Group at Baird Private Wealth Management and Mo Alshaer from AccountingBiz.co for a candid, approachable Lunch & Learn designed to give young professionals the financial foundation they should have been taught in school.
This is focused on unlocking smart money habits, building wealth, and reducing the stress that comes with financial uncertainty.

Lunch Included:
Enjoy a fresh, locally catered lunch courtesy of our generous sponsors: AccountingBiz.co and The Brookshire Garside Group of Baird Private Wealth Management.
Whether you're just getting started with financial planning or ready to level up your money game, this session will help you feel in control—and set you up to thrive.

This locally loved watering hole is the perfect spot to wind down after work with cold drinks, good conversation, and your fellow young professionals.
There’s no agenda—just a casual evening to connect, catch up, and welcome new faces to the Asheville Young Professionals community. Whether it’s your first Pub Club or you’re a regular, all are welcome.

First drinks on us
Your first round of drinks is on The Brookshire Garside Group of Baird Private Wealth Management
Come as you are, bring a friend, and join the most fun and connected young professionals group in Asheville.

We're teaming up with Wortham Center for the Performing Arts to give AYPROS members an exclusive first look at their 2025/26 season—weeks before it's announced to the public. This kind of access is usually reserved for Wortham’s donor circle, but for one night only, they’re opening the vault for us.
Expect good people, great energy, and a full season lineup that’s going to make Asheville proud.

What’s Happening:
5:00 PM – Food, Drinks & Chill
Come early, grab a drink, enjoy light bites, and hang out with other AYPROS members and the folks from Wortham.
6:00 PM – Season Reveal Presentation
Find your seat for a curated preview of Wortham’s new season. Performances, premieres, and local highlights.

Spots are limited and RSVPs will be required.
