Company of Young Professionals: Peer Leadership Forum Reload

For six years now, the Company of Young Professionals (CYP) program has hosted one of the best kept secrets in the city — Peer Leadership Forum.

Peer Leadership Forums are discussion groups that meet monthly to share ideas, personal goals, and insights from industry leaders. The result is new friendships, new perspectives, and a lot of fun.

Each team is a diverse group of emerging leaders representing a wide variety of industries. Teams are formed based on career stage and common goals. Through this experience, you will gain perspective from other motivated young professionals who want to see you succeed.
