Company of Young Professionals Peer Leadership Forum Kickoff

Welcome back!

For six 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.

Why Participate in a Peer Leadership Forum Team?

  • Lead - Dive deeper into topics covered at CYP and broader Board of Trade events.
  • Connect - Develop friendships with a diverse and motivated group of young professionals. 
  • Innovate - Compete with other PLF teams on a project and win fantastic prizes!
  • Contribute - Support one charity or cause annually that matters to you.
