Committees
The PYP committees and their chair members are the backbone of the organization. These heavily involved members dedicate their time to bring all of PYP’s events to life. The goal of each committee is to organize events and participate in community outreach that will appeal to a wide range of interests both within and outside our current membership. For a complete list of committees, see below.
If you are looking to build your leadership skills, starting out as a member of a PYP committee is a vital first step. If you’re interested in becoming more involved in PYP and you want to take the lead in helping to continue to develop PYP to its fullest potential, you may be a great candidate for a committee chair position.
While committee involvement is limited to members only, prospective members are encouraged to attend a meeting for more information.

Board of Directors
The Pittsburgh Young Professionals is governed by a board of directors comprised of volunteer members. The board sets the yearly budgets, ensures that committee’s objectives are completed, and strategically drives the mission of the organization. This highly coveted leadership position requires impressive professional achievements, community involvement, attendance at monthly board meetings and PYP events, and the responsibility to advise PYP Committee Chairs. As a developing young professional, serving on a non-profit board such as PYP is an integral step for many previous and current board members, to establish themselves as a community leader.
