| Greetings!
Welcome back to the June issue of our monthly newsletters from the Manhattan Beach Young Professionals. A special note from the MBYP Chairs:
June
is the final month of our 16-month term as chair & co-chair of MBYP
and we send our members a huge thank you for being apart of an amazing year. Both of us were founding members of this popular group, and
while we will still be active board members, we are proud of what we
have accomplished. MBYP has grown into
one of the premier networking groups in the South Bay, and we have made some
amazing contacts and built solid professional relationships along the
way. We have had the pleasure of working with an amazing board who has
been instrumental in helping to make this group what it is today. We are excited to
pass the torch to incoming co-chairs Jake Dax and Ricky Arakaki, and we look forward to seeing what's in store for MBYP under
their leadership. Many, many thanks and see you all at the next event!
Farewell,
Isela
