The Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce (GPCC) is accepting Board of Directors applications for Valley Young Professionals (VYP), the premier group for up-and-coming professionals in the Greater Phoenix region.
The VYP Board of Directors comprises business leaders between the ages of 25 to 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.
“I am honored to serve on the VYP Board with a talented and diverse group of young professionals. Together we work to ensure VYP is creating experiences and events that enrich the professional lives of our fellow community members,” said Erin Miller, VYP Board of Directors Chair and Senior Communications Specialist for Sprouts Farmers Markets. “From public speaking and delegation to consensus building, the leadership opportunities provided by serving on the VYP Board are beneficial for any young professional.”
“Facilitating the success of young professionals is vital to the future of our economy,” said Todd Sanders, president and CEO of the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. “VYP is the Chamber’s tool to connect up-and-coming business leaders, provide opportunities for growth, and ensure our young professionals are connected to our community.”
Applications for the VYP Board of Directors can be found here. Applicants for the VYP Board of Directors must be members of the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce 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 in order to be eligible.
