Peer Leadership Forum Annual Launch

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 from industry leaders. In the end, participants gain new friendships, new perspectives all while having a lot of fun.

Each PLF team is a diverse group of emerging leaders representing a wide variety of industries. Teams work together from September to May and are formed based on age, life stage, and goals. Through PLFs, 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.
