The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Louisiana Young Professionals (HCYP) is the next generation of business and professional leaders in the Hispanic community.
The driving force behind this initiative is a diverse group of individuals working to provide a platform to young professionals that’s congruent with the overall HCCL mission and the Board of Directors’ vision.
This vibrant group of emerging leaders introduces new leadership to the organization by promoting new ideas, initiatives and engaging opportunities to volunteer, network and learn.
Through this platform, HCYP members are given an opportunity to participate and collaborate on issues that impact not only their careers, but the community as a whole.
This year’s committee has been working hard on fulfilling their mission and has hosted various events geared towards their goal. Such initiatives include the Annual Lunch & Learn: Ejecutivo Series, where young professionals enjoyed a delicious lunch prepared by a renowned local Hispanic chef. Attendees also heard from a panel of influential Hispanic chefs who shared insight on their paths to success and the challenges they had to overcome along the way.
Another engaging opportunity was the Annual Women’s Business Symposium. The Leadership & Professional Growth panel, composed of successful and powerful young professional female leaders, provided a plethora of professional growth opportunities and shared on key areas of their success as Young Professionals.
Community Service is at the core of the HCYP’s mission. Mentoring opportunities like the “West Jefferson High School Career Day” and “Junior Achievement Day” are examples of the service opportunities members have been able to participate in, allowing them to promote a positive impact in their community by inspiring school-aged children to become successful and responsible individuals. Future collaborations with organizations like Habitat for Humanity, and Liberty’s Kitchen will provide additional opportunities to give back to the community.
Becoming a member of HCYP is easy: simply join their mailing list and attend their next event.
