The VYP Board of Directors is comprised of business leaders between the ages of 25 and 39 who are passionate about community involvement and are actively creating and overseeing a program that helps retain and attract young professionals to the region. The board is responsible for the direction of VYP and helps to identify content, speakers, venues, and community partnerships. Additionally, those selected are asked to utilize their personal and professional relationships to help promote the work of VYP and the Chamber.
