Our Chapter

The YPO Gold Washington DC & Baltimore Chapter (YPOG-WB) offers an intimate environment where the power of idea exchange enhances lives, enriches families and improves communities.

Our mission is to foster friendship, lifelong connections, extraordinary experiences and personal/professional growth through sharing, learning, and memory creation via “Only in YPO” experiences. In doing so, we aim to make our large chapter feel small and strive to significantly increase the connection among our membership.

We aim to be inclusive, deliver value and exceed expectations.

We aim to push our members outside of their comfort zone, encouraging vulnerability, while maintaining a safe and confidential environment.

We aim to create and feed the passions and curiosities of our members and their families.

To this end, we expect our members to participate. We are a healthy, award- winning chapter. Our members shall take part in Forum, Learning events, Chapter activities, and Leadership. As such, participation and connection will be our primary measurements of our health and success.

YPOG-WB members share in an exclusive and active world-class educational program, having received recognition as the YPO “Best of the Best.” We are also proud of our achievement of "2017-2018 Best of the Best Gold Chapter".

We offer Forum programs to meet the needs of both members spouses, as well as a Young Adult Forum program including young adults from around the globe.
