Gilbert Chamber of Commerce Announces Launch of Gilbert Young Professionals
The Gilbert Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the official launch of Gilbert Young Professionals (GYP) — a dynamic network of emerging leaders and rising professionals committed to growing their careers, expanding their influence, and making meaningful connections within the Gilbert community. We are especially grateful to the former GYP board members, who now serve as committee members of the Chamber’s new Gilbert Young Professionals program, bringing their experience and leadership to help guide its growth and success.
What is Gilbert Young Professionals?
GYP is designed for individuals in the early to mid-stages of their professional journey — typically between the ages of 21 and 39 — but all are welcome who feel aligned with this group's goals. Whether you’re building your business, climbing the corporate ladder, or looking to build meaningful relationships, GYP provides a platform to connect, learn, and give back.
As part of the program, members can expect:
✅ Networking Opportunities
Engage with like-minded peers and leaders in Gilbert’s business community.
✅ Professional Development
Attend workshops designed to grow your leadership and business skills.
✅ Social Events
Build friendships and enjoy authentic connections in relaxed, inclusive environments.
✅ Community Involvement
