Mission of HYPE:
To connect, mentor, and empower young professionals in the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce using networking, educational seminars, relaxed atmospheres, and volunteer opportunities. HYPE guides this entrepreneurial young talent to have an impact on the current and future marketplace. HYPE assists in the advancement of those members of the community who will help lead the charge of America, through the next half-century, back to the role as the world's economic leader.

Young Professional:
We define a Young Professional as anyone between the ages of 21 and 35 who is: a business owner; a current manager/executive within a company; a member of a professional practice; a politician, a business development or sales representative for a company; or a person striving to be an executive in their current career path. The Young Professional is the mover and shaker of today who will lead our economy and sculpt our political landscape successfully into the future.

Mentor:
If you are over the age of 35 and want to be part of HYPE we encourage you to apply to become a mentor. A Mentor will have access to HYPE events and will be expected to provide knowledge and guidance to help a young professional in his or her career path. Mentor applications will be reviewed by the HYPE Executive Committee for approval. Parameters on a maximum number of Mentors, or a maximum number within a certain industry, or the exact expectations of this role may be set in the future by the Executive Committee.
