About Us

Our Membership

The diversity of members in YPOLA is a hallmark of the chapter. The chapter continually strives to ensure its membership represents the diversity of the greater Los Angeles area. Unique to the YPOLA is the importance of family and kids in the chapter.

Above and beyond YPO qualification requirements YPOLA seeks to find members who are the leaders in their industry and contribute to the community in which they live and work. We strictly adhere to YPO membership guidelines and add our leadership and diversity objectives. The result is an extrememly rewarding chapter with high membership standards and a constant variety of perspectives.

Together our members employ over 57,000 people in Southern California and 220,000 worldwide. YPOLA member businesses are geographically diverse throughout the Los Angeles area.

Our Role in YPO International

YPOLA strives to be a role model chapter for all of YPO International. A YPOLA member served as a YPOI Board member and Chair of the Pacific US Region (the largest in YPO with 27 chapters and over 1200 members) from 2004 to 2006, and another YPOLA member will be serving as a member of the YPOI Board and Chair of the Network Committee for 2006 to 2007. Additionally, we have a number of members serving on YPOI Board Committees and two who serve as the Pacific US Regional Officers (Pacific US Regional Education Chair for 2005 to 2007, and Pacific US Regional Forum Chair for 2006 to 2008).

Each year YPOLA chapter leaders attend the YPO International Global Leadership Conference and in 2004 the chapter was awarded “Best of the Best” by YPOI for its outstanding education program.
