BYP is a program of the Bay County Chamber of Commerce created by the Leadership Bay Class of 2005/2006. As growth continues to explode along Florida’s Gulf Coast, many young professionals are enthusiastic about area business and community opportunities and are ready to get involved as new leaders. BYP was formed to specifically address the need of this target group, individuals age 21-41, recognizing that certain leadership skills come from additional experiences beyond the classroom and job environment.
Mission
The mission of the Bay Young Professionals is to enrich our community by uniting and developing our young professionals.
Events
Through a mixture of educational and social activities, this dynamic organization will encourage personal and professional development. Bay Young Professionals have a monthly opportunity to attend evenly rotating meetings that include luncheons with a program of interest or tours conducted by professionals and leaders from the community as they share experiences and expertise. You will learn from those that built the area communities and from those that have expertly honed their craft. Evening socials are also held for BYP members to network with their peers and form a connection with each other. Events are NO COST to BYP members.
Sponsorships
Sponsorship opportunities are available for various events hosted by the BYP group. Your sponsorship entitles your company name on all BYP event information including in the Bay Biz magazine, Chamber website, marketing materials to be displayed and distributed at events and five minutes of speaking time. This is a great way to give your company visibility to the young professionals of Bay County!
