‍By Magi Thomley Williams

We're honored to be featured as the June cover story in Bella Magazine as part of our 20th Anniversary celebration.

A special thank you to Magi Thomley Williams and Bella Magazine for helping tell the story of Pensacola Young Professionals—from our founding in 2006 to the impact our members continue to make throughout the Pensacola community today.

The article highlights the vision that sparked PYP's creation and features reflections from four incredible PYP leaders whose experiences represent the power of connection, leadership, and community involvement:

• Anna Lochas, President 2025-2027
• Hong Petomski, Past President 2022-2023
• Ebony Delaire, Past President 2015-2016
• Monica Wright, Vice President of Community Impact 2025-2026

We are grateful to each of these leaders for sharing their stories and for the countless ways they have helped shape PYP's legacy.

As we celebrate 20 years of impact, we invite you to read the full story and learn more about the people, partnerships, and experiences that continue to make PYP a force for positive change in our community.
