Company of Young Professionals BIG Idea
What's your BIG Idea for Greater Vancouver in 2016?
For five years now, the Company of Young Professionals (CYP) program has hosted one of the best kept secrets in the city – Peer Leadership Forums (PLFs). PLFs are discussion groups that get together monthly to share ideas, personal goals, and insights from industry leaders.
The results are new friendships, new perspectives, and a lot of fun. Each PLF team is a diverse group of emerging leaders representing a wide variety of industries. At this event we will be adding new Members to existing teams and putting together several new teams.
