Welcome back!

For five years now, the Company of Young Professionals (CYP) has hosted one of the best kept secrets in the city – Peer Leadership Forums (PLFs). PLFs are discussion groups which get together monthly to share ideas, personal goals, and insights shared by industry leaders. The result is new friendships, new perspectives, and a lot of fun.

Each PLF team is a diverse team of emerging leaders representing a wide variety of industries. Teams run from September to May and are formed based on age / life stage, and their specific goals. Through PLF's, you gain perspective from other motivated young professionals who want to see you succeed!
