HYPE (Helping Young Professionals Excel)
The Pittsburgh North Regional Chamber recognizes the invaluable work and contributions of young professionals in the Chamber. HYPE creates a platform to attract, retain, and advance tomorrow’s leaders today in the Pittsburgh North Region.
HYPE is designed to support the growth and involvement of talented young professionals by creating business opportunities, supporting community involvement, and fostering an overall investment in the future of our region.
