🌟 Congratulations to the Greater Pensacola Chamber – Community Partner of the Year! 🌟 At our PYP Annual Celebration 2025, we were honored to recognize the Greater Pensacola Chamber as our Community Partner of the Year for their tremendous support of PYP and young professionals in our community. 👏 The Chamber has provided countless opportunities for PYP to engage and connect. Their partnership on the 4th of July Fireworks event played a crucial role in its success, and their collaboration on the Candidate Forum allowed PYP to have a meaningful presence in an important civic conversation. 🙌 Beyond event support, the Chamber has taken its commitment even further by providing PYP with a seat on their Board of Directors, ensuring young professionals have a voice in shaping the future of our community. 💪 Their nominator shared: "The Chamber has gone above and beyond for PYP, strengthening our ability to connect, develop, and engage young professionals in Pensacola. Their partnership is invaluable, and we are grateful for their continued support!" 🎉 Thank you, Greater Pensacola Chamber, for being an outstanding community partner!

🎉 Congratulations to Paul Cope – Mentor of the Year! 🎉 At our PYP Annual Celebration 2025, we were thrilled to recognize Paul Cope as our Mentor of the Year for his incredible dedication to supporting and guiding his mentee in the Mentor Pensacola program. 👏 His mentee shared: "Paul went above and beyond from the very beginning. He reached out immediately, scheduled regular meetups, and truly made me feel like I had someone to count on. Moving to Pensacola without many connections, Paul and his family welcomed me with open arms. He invited me to church, to his home for a Super Bowl party, and always made me feel valued. Because of Paul, Pensacola feels like home." 💙 Paul, your kindness, leadership, and commitment to mentorship are truly inspiring. Thank you for making such a meaningful impact! 🙌 #pensacolayp #PensacolaYoungProfessionals #PYPAnnualCelebration #MentorOfTheYear #connection #development #Impact #mentorpensacola
