About the Summit
Why we do what we do.
Leadership qualities, community networking, and entrepreneurial motivation are just some of the things you will walk away with after attending the Young Professionals Leadership Summit. The Summit was created in 2012, with one goal in mind: to create a place where young professionals from Orange County can come together and learn the leadership qualities needed to be successful. Young professionals are tomorrow’s leaders and a major part of the future economic development of Orange County. The Summit provides the opportunity to learn both business and life lessons from today’s successful business and community leaders. It strives to instill the importance of giving back to the community on the journey to become a successful leader.
