The Young Presidents' Organization was founded in 1950 as an educational association for chief executives who became presidents of their companies before age 40: a key membership requirement. Its main objective is to help its members become better presidents through education and idea exchange.

With a membership of over 2600, YPO

is an international organization with more than 30 countries represented. There are 52 chapters in all—40 in the United States, five in Canada, two in Europe and one each in Japan, Mexico, Korea, Australia and the Caribbean.

Young Presidents head companies in nearly every kind of business, manufacturing, finance, insurance, real estate, transportation, communication, construction, various technological services and many others. Annual sales range from the minimum of $1.5 million to over $1 billion. The number of employees ranges from the minimum of 50 up to 40,000. Companies are equally divided among those in which stock is family owned, closely held and publicly owned.

Members retire from YPO at age 49.

The educational experience in YPO is gained through idea exchange at chapter meetings, seminars, conferences, workshops and two annual Universities for Presidents. In addition to the talent within its

membership, outside experts are speakers and discussion leaders. Business subjects are naturally of primary interest. There is also ample opportunity to participate in meetings covering social and cultural subjects. Members' wives participate as well, providing an opportunity for an exploration of an executive's life. The Young Presidents' Organization offers a unique opportunity for the young corporate chief to meet other company leaders.
