YPO (formerly Young Presidents' Organization) is an American-based worldwide leadership community of chief executives with approximately 29,000 members in more than 130 countries, according to the organization's 2019 YPO international fact sheet.

History

YPO was founded in 1950 in Rochester, New York, by manufacturer Ray Hickok, who was 27 years old when he became the head of his family's Rochester-based Hickok Belt, a 300-employee company.

The first meeting was held in 1950 at the Waldorf Astoria New York and was attended by Robert Wood Johnson III (Johnson & Johnson).[2] Hickok and a small group of young presidents in the area began meeting regularly to share and learn from each other. According to the organization, its founding principle is that of education and idea exchange among peers.[3]

  • The first non-U.S. chapter was created in 1956 in Ontario, Canada.
  • The first YPO University was held in Miami Beach, Florida.
  • YPO merged with its graduate organization, World Presidents Organization (WPO), in 2007.
  • The YPO Global Pulse survey launched in 2009, and is a quarterly economic confidence index that shares business insights from CEOs.[4][5]
  • In 2010, Jill Belconis became the first woman elected to serve as YPO-WPO international chairman.[6]
  • YPO formed an editorial partnership with CNBC in 2012.[7]
  • Elizabeth Zucker is the 2019-2020 chairman of the YPO Board of Directors. [8]
