About MYP
McKinney Young Professionals (MYP) was established with the aim of fostering connections among young professionals, supporting their career advancement, and empowering them to contribute positively to their community. Through MYP, members can engage in a variety of events designed to facilitate networking with fellow professionals, community leaders, and business figures.
These events not only offer opportunities for socializing but also provide platforms for personal and professional growth. Additionally, MYP offers professional development sessions featuring dynamic speakers and practical insights tailored to enhance members’ careers. MYP plays a vital role in keeping McKinney’s as a vibrant and desirable place to live, work, and thrive.
“I’m thankful for the opportunity to lead the 2024 MYP Committee this year. I look forward to building onto this organization from the committees that came before me, that made MYP what it is today. Our goals for this year are to providing a welcoming environment for all, where Young Professional can get together to grow professionally, personally and make new friends along the way. We always look for ways to serve our community and make an impact in the best way possible. Here’s to another exciting year ahead filled with change and opportunities!”
