The Columbus Emerging Leaders’ Summit, hosted by the CYP Club, is a half-day leadership experience that brings together nearly 200 passionate, smart, and engaged young professionals from all across central Ohio to connect and grow while learning from local speakers and thought leaders.
Post-summit: Once the summit adjourns, we host a special luncheon for presidents & chairs of local YP orgs, including ERGs/BRGs and auxiliary groups for YPs, young alumni associations, & more.
