YPOs

The Young Presidents' Organization, commonly known as YPO, is a global leadership community of young chief executives. Membership is limited to chief executives and senior leaders of organizations who are under 45 years of age at the time of joining. YPO's mission is to educate and inspire its members to become better leaders and better people. The organization was founded in 1950 by Raymond Lincoln of New York City. Today, YPO has more than 30,000 members in over 140 countries.

YPO members are typically leaders of significant companies and organizations, and they are committed to personal and professional growth. The organization offers its members a variety of resources, including educational programs, networking opportunities, and peer-to-peer learning. These resources are designed to help members expand their knowledge, develop new skills, and connect with other leaders from around the world. YPO events often feature speakers who are experts in their fields, providing members with insights into current trends and challenges in business and leadership.

The organization places a strong emphasis on values such as integrity, respect, and trust. Members are encouraged to engage in open and honest dialogue, sharing their experiences and perspectives in a confidential environment. This peer-to-peer learning aspect is a cornerstone of the YPO experience, allowing members to gain different insights and solutions to common leadership challenges. YPO also has a strong focus on giving back to the community through various philanthropic initiatives undertaken by its chapters.
