About Lone Star YPO
What Is YPO?
YPO (Young Presidents’ Organization) is the world’s premier leadership community for chief executives, united by the belief that the world needs better leaders. Founded in 1950, YPO includes more than 35,000 members across 140+ countries — each of whom became the top executive in their business before the age of 45.
Through peer learning, once‑in‑a‑lifetime experiences, and an inclusive, trusted community, YPO empowers its members to grow as leaders and as individuals. Today, YPO member‑led companies span every major industry and collectively generate over $9 trillion USD in annual revenue, making a profound impact on business and beyond.
About Our Chapter
Founded in 1988, Lone Star YPO is one of Texas’s premier YPO chapters, known for delivering exceptional, “only‑in‑YPO” experiences to a thriving community of 100 dynamic leaders. Lone Star distinguishes itself by fostering a culture of high engagement — members are expected to attend at least 50% of events annually, including two mandatory signature events.
Forum, one of the most impactful aspects of the YPO experience, is strongly encouraged, with nearly all chapter members actively participating. With a close‑knit relationship with its Gold chapter, Lone Star Gold, members enjoy deep connections, high‑impact learning, and unforgettable shared experiences.
The entire Lone Star chapter gathered for an unforgettable Presidents’ Retreat at AutoCamp Zion, spending two incredible nights surrounded by the red rock beauty of Zion, Utah. Members connected under the stars, shared stories around the fire, and were inspired by keynote speaker Aron Ralston, the adventurer behind the true story 127 Hours.
