As stated in the organization's original invitational flier, “The Peninsula Professional Network is an invitational association of men and women who live and work in the Monterey and Santa Cruz counties. We define professional as a matter of attitude and seek a way to meet and make friends with people of similar interests in a way which celebrates the best we have to offer as complete and whole human beings.”
