Connecting Members
Pensacola Young Professionals was created in 2006 to be a voice for the young pros of Pensacola. We started with taking a stand on the Maritime Park initiative and have made it our mission to be catalysts for positive change ever since.
PYP connects the dots between our members’ goals and the opportunities available to them in the Pensacola Bay area. Whether a member is interested in professional development, community service, local economic development and governmental affairs, or just looking for a networking opportunity, PYP offers all of those connections. PYP’s goal is to connect members to the opportunities our community offers that are most meaningful to them so that each person can find their best “fit”.
