The Young Presidents' Organization mission statement is:

Better leaders through education

and idea exchange.

For five decades, YPO has transcended geographical, language and cultural barriers to set the standards for lifelong learning, collaboration across borders and innovation to address the challenges young leaders face every day.

Within YPO, The Los Angeles Chapter strives to be the best chapter in all of YPO, and is certainly the preeminent YPO Chapter in Southern California, comprised of high quality members with integrity and diverse backgrounds. We work to provide valuable, educational events executed with flair. And to promote an environment conducive to the sharing of ideas, experiences and networks. It’s important to us to create an environment supportive of spouses and significant others that promotes family participation. And last but not least, we provide opportunities to build life-long friendships and relationships.

The Los Angeles Chapter of the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO) has been long recognized as one of the most prestigious in the United States. We are one of the oldest chapters in YPO with over 54 years of rich history. YPOLA is also one of the largest chapters in YPO with 85 members running public, private and family businesses throughout Southern California.
