Our very own Matt Kalenuik, Addictions Counselor at Last Door Youth Program has been appointed to The Company of Young Professionals. CYP is a leadership development program of The Vancouver Board of Trade designed specifically for young professionals under the age of 35. Matt is one of two representatives from the non-profit sector.

Through membership in The Board of Trade, Vancouver's most active business association and, in the case of non-profit reps, The BC Association of Charitable Gaming,   CYP gives young professionals the opportunity to become engaged in their community by attending hot-topic events, meeting prominent business leaders and fostering leadership through engagement.

Members can also experience extensive community involvement with key issues through participation in The Board's and the BCACG's various committees and task forces.

CYP is designed for young professionals, including entrepreneurs, managers, accountants, lawyers, articling students, real estate and investment professionals and graduates of the Leaders of Tomorrow Mentorship ProgramŽ (LOT).

This opportunity gives  Last Door an opportunity to grow our network and realize our leadership potential through Matt's involvement. We are in good company...
