Make Connections
That Last a Lifetime.
YPO is a global leadership community of chief executives driven by our belief that the world needs better leaders.
YPO Santa Monica Bay is one of the leading chapters in Southern California
The award-winning YPO Santa Monica Bay Chapter has a history and reputation of being one of YPO's strongest and most vital chapters. Founded in 1986 by then YPO and now YPO Gold member Ken Kennedy, our philosophy was to have an inclusive chapter, making YPO available to all Presidents and CEOs who qualified, regardless of their race, background, or creed, providing they were of good character and personal integrity and had the same YPO spirit as our membership.
YPO Impact
Inclusiveness & Diversity
I am thrilled and look forward to serving our chapter. YPO Santa Monica Bay was formed 31 years ago to embrace and celebrate the diverse landscape of CEOs in the greater Los Angeles area. Today, we are proud to be a chapter that lives our legacy and foundation of diversity, inclusiveness and transformation.
YPOSMB Learning year
The YPOSMB Chapter, under the lead of learning Officer Sue Chen, was just awarded with the YPO Award for The Best Learning Program in the category Best Large Chapter in the Pacific US Region.
Why Join YPOSMB
During our founding years, as we do today, the YPOSMB Chapter sought qualified business leaders throughout a cross-section of local communities to build a chapter more closely resembling our culturally diverse metropolis, increasing diversity across gender, ethnic, cultural and business categories.
