YPAJ was created by NAIFA-Jacksonville's Young Advisors Team (YAT) in order to help insure the success and growth of our young industry professionals in developing mutually beneficial relationships that are a part of building a thriving and sound practice.

Our vision is for you to build and develop lasting mutually beneficial relationships and referral sources between Young Advisors, Attorneys, and CPA's so that they may meet each other in an informal, non-threatening/intimidating environment to network with like-minded industry professionals that they think they would work best with as lasting professional relationships.
