Young Entrepreneurs and Professionals Initiative

Young leaders are the key to the future success of the Dallas area. USICOC is an "incubator" for developing leaders in the community at large. Through programs such as YPN the Chamber provides up-and-coming professionals with opportunities to enhance their professional development. YPN strives to nurture tomorrow's corporate leaders by providing them access to the people, places and issues that are the driving force behind the Dallas business community. According to YPN member, Despina Foster, a financial consultant for Merrill Lynch, "It's like dealing with the movers and shakers of tomorrow. They get you motivated about what you can do and the good you can do for Dallas."
