YP HAPPENINGS
Welcome to HYPE! - A Message from the Chair
Fellow Houston Young Professionals,
The Greater Houston Partnership Young Professional’s Endeavour (HYPE) is excited to carry the positive momentum our great City has generated in 2012 as we move into 2013. The organization we started in April 2010 with a few members and an idea has grown into one of the largest subsets of the Greater Houston Partnership. In three short years, we have gained a membership of thousands, formed a focused agenda around Professional Development, Networking and Community Outreach, and are looking to do even more this year. HYPE is guided by 14 elected, motivated, and successful leadership team members from diverse backgrounds covering a broad scope of professional disciplines. The leadership team, in partnership with the GHP, executes events specifically designed to prepare Houston’s young leaders for the future. Some of our premiere event selections include:
o HYPE at Reliant in partnership with the Houston Texans
o HYPE Leadership Roundtable hosted by members from the GHP Board of Directors
o HYPE’s Meet the Candidates Event
While we cannot take all the credit for Houston being named “The Coolest City” in America last year by Forbes magazine, we can take credit for getting young people involved in some great initiatives. We subscribe to the 10 year strategic plan adopted by our parent organization with one goal in mind: Building Prosperity in the Houston Region (add link). To this end, we encourage talented and passionate individuals to get involved with one of our four HYPE subcommittees. Participation in a subcommittee will allow you to take a key role in building a program to serve future generations of young professionals and support the mission of the Greater Houston Partnership. Please explore this website for more information about our subcommittees and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn for the latest updates on our events and meetings.
