We are the up and coming leaders in the Grand Valley. GVYP’s are an ambitious group looking to make our mark in the community whether it’s business, politics, or philanthropy. Some members own successful local businesses and others are senior management at their company. But we still welcome the young professionals that are just launching their careers.

Though we have them, we’re not just bankers, lawyers and accountants. We are also web developers, journalists, teachers, artists and more. The diversity of our group is what makes its network so valuable to its membership.

It you attend GVYP events, you’ll find such things as opportunities to get to know local executives and senior leaders on a more personal level (Breakfast with a CEO), you’ll develop new business and personal relationships with fellow young professionals at our happy hours (PowerHour), and you’ll have a chance to give back to the community by participating in our community services projects.
