YPO (Young Presidents’ Organization) connects successful young chief executives in a global network unlike any other. Founded in 1950 in New York City by a young president named Ray Hickok, the organization today unites approximately 22,000 business leaders in more than 125 countries around a shared mission: Better Leaders Through Education and Idea Exchange™. A great deal has changed since YPO’s founding, but certain things have remained the same: the value of a peer network and trusted mentors, the importance of ongoing education, and the need for a “safe haven” where issues can be aired in an environment of confidentiality. Members say that YPO has a profound, often life-changing, effect on their lives, reflecting what Ray Hickok noted in 1950: “YPO is first, last and always a uniquely personal experience.”
