Our Committees

SOCIAL EVENTS

One of the most active committees in HYP. Responsible for organizing and executing all of HYP’s signature events from monthly UNWIND’s, to quarterly special events, to group outings and everything in-between. This committee is also responsible for launching the very successful “Power of One” initiative, collecting donated items for the Community Action House to help those in need in our community. You already attend the events, volunteer to make them happen! Meets monthly.

MEMBERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

The primary focus of the Membership Development committee is to retain and recruit members to HYP. This committee works closely with the Events and Marketing committees to promote HYP within the Holland area.  This committee works to increase the value of your Contributing Membership by adding incentives from local businesses, creating an online member directory as well as striving to add more new members to build relationships with.

MARKETING/COMMUNICATIONS

Ever wonder who comes up with those catchy email blasts that lured you into that last UNWIND? Did you read about HYP in the paper or online? This is the committee that produces that message! This committee keeps the website content current, the email blasts breezy, creates marketing materials for events and HYP programs, and organizes publicity for HYP. Are you imaginative and organized? Do you love deadlines like your grandmother’s prized spaghetti sauce? They do too, so what are you waiting for? Meets monthly.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Have some great ideas on how HYP can help develop new professionals like yourself? Fine tune your skill set and gain valuable information on industry trends and activities by participating on this committee. This group brings you the legendary “e2e” series (by partnering with Lakeshore Advantage), the “Inside HYP” series (taking you behind the scenes at area businesses), and our new Mentoring Program (connecting HYP members with area business professionals). Help mold HYP’s professional development activities by volunteering now. Meets monthly.

FUND DEVELOPMENT

The fund development committee identifies and engages organizations that wish to partner with HYP by providing services, and/or donations, (monetary or promotional materials) to be used as give-aways or sponsorships. Meets as needed.
