YPO Networks break away from geography and put a new spin on member networking. YPO members join local chapters, but they also have the chance to interact globally through special business, personal, and social enterprise networks. Networks at YPO are the fastest growing member offering – YPOers are coming together around their specific industries, their personal interests and even social issues such as micro-lending and making a difference.

Driven by members, each Network uses a combination of virtual and in-person interaction and offers the opportunity to discuss critical business, personal or medical issues online, over the phone, or in person. Most YPOers join at least three networks and many are taking leadership roles as network officers and network chairs to ensure that networking at YPO has the same quality and “only in YPO” value that traditional geographic chapter networking does.

The following are some of the networking choices available to all YPO members:

	Business Networks focus on various business sectors, industries and regions which allow members to instantly expand professional contacts. These range from Family Business, Real Estate Industry, Doing Business with China, to the Women’s International Network.
	Personal Networks allow members to connect globally around topics including Wine, Golf, Photography, Personal Investing and Art.
	Social Enterprise Networks brings like-minded YPO members together to address community, philanthropic and humanitarian endeavors. These Networks cover such issues as Economic Development, Education and the Environment.
	Meetings-in-Meetings bring together YPO members already attending industry conferences and conventions to connect business leaders, share ideas and network with peers. These gatherings build stronger industry and interest connections and allow attendees to identify and work with their fellow members.
