Valley Young Professionals (VYP) is looking for dynamic leaders to join its Board of Directors
The Greater Phoenix Chamber is now accepting applications for the Board of Directors of Valley Young Professionals (VYP), the premier group for up-and-coming professionals in the Greater Phoenix region.
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.
“We’re excited to open applications for the Valley Young Professionals Board and invite passionate, community-minded leaders to apply,” says Marcus Benally, senior manager of Client Advisory & Accounting Services at REDW and FY26 Board Chair. “Serving on the board is a unique opportunity for young professionals to grow their leadership skills, expand their impact, and help shape VYP programs that support and connect the next generation of leaders in Greater Phoenix.”
The Valley Young Professionals program also serves as a leadership pipeline to the Chamber’s board of directors. VYP Board members have access to exclusive events, leadership development, and mentorship opportunities.
“Investing in young professionals is essential to the long-term strength of our regional economy,” said Todd Sanders, president and CEO of the Greater Phoenix Chamber. “Through Valley Young Professionals, we’re building meaningful connections, expanding leadership opportunities, and ensuring the next generation of business leaders is engaged and invested in our community.”
Applications for the VYP Board of Directors are available at this link. Applicants for the VYP Board of Directors must be members of the Greater Phoenix Chamber or Valley Young Professionals. Board members serve an initial two-year term with the option to renew for an additional two years. Those who are not members are encouraged to inquire about membership to be eligible. Applications are open on Monday, March 30th, 2026, and are due by 5 p.m. on Friday, April 10th, 2026.
