Young Professionals Network

Council members within the YP Network are some of the most dynamic, ambitious, and connected young leaders in Chicago.

Ranked the #1 Think Tank to Watch worldwide by the prestigious University of Pennsylvania “2016 and 2017 Global Go To Think Tank Index,” the Chicago Council on Global Affairs engages not only the nation’s and world’s top leaders but also Chicago’s next generation of leaders.

What is the YP Network?

Nearly 1,500 smart, sophisticated Council members under the age of 45 participate in the Council’s YP Network. Through this network, you will see, hear, and interact with the world’s most influential thinkers and doers; rub shoulders and network with Chicago’s rising young business and civic leaders; and gain insights needed to compete in a fast-changing global economy.

YP Ambassadors

YP Ambassadors are a select group of leaders from among the approximately 2,000 Council YP Network members, and are essential to the success of the Council’s Young Professionals program. YP Ambassadors are chosen to represent their peers and help serve as the voice of the next generation at the Council.
