Experiences

Chapter Learning Events

Our Learning Chair creates an annual theme and monthly chapter meetings where we can experience world-class educational programs in a wide variety of topical subjects, whether it’s cutting edge business seminars or discovering the abundance of fresh resources, talent, and experiences of our City and the world at large.

Forum

We take Forum very seriously in our chapter, with the hope that every member and spouse participate. We believe that Forum is at the heart of our Chapter, and it enriches and bonds us. We offer three kinds of Forum experiences: Member Forums, Spouse/Partner Forums, and Stir-Fry Forums, where members and spouses can be mixed.

Getaway Travel

Each year, we travel as a group with a highly personalized itinerary designed by our chapter Getaway Chairs. Our trips range between three and six days, and past destinations include Positano, Morocco, Dublin, Hawaii, Montana, Banff, Quebec City, Nashville, Boston, San Francisco, Chicago, and New York City. Next up…Paris!

Dine Arounds

We host a Dine Around, where our members invite smaller groups to their homes for dinner and camaraderie. It’s a great way to connect and share, and always a chapter favorite!

Chapter Special Events

Our unique, and always fun Special Events are frequently featured throughout the year, usually inspired and chaired by a member or spouse’s passion. There is something for everyone, ranging from hikes and bike rides, karaoke, art shows, to sunset dinners on the beach.

Holiday Party

In December, it’s party time and our holiday parties do not disappoint! We pay special attention toward venue, food, entertainment, music, and dancing.

Business Breakfasts

Our Breakfast Chair regularly hosts an early morning educational meeting, current business topics. Chosen by members, these topics include cryptocurrency to cybersecurity threats, and more.

“Our chapter combines valuable educational experiences with an informal environment that cultivates personal connections. The chapter provides a variety of activities, including chapter meetings, overnights, business breakfasts and special activities. Spouse/partner and member participation and leadership are critical to our success.”
— Steve Green, KGI Advisors

"As a spouse, YPO Gold City of Angels has offered me access and opportunity to learn new things, to grow as a person, and to travel to new places. But I would say the best part of our chapter is the members themselves. Through the YPO and Forum experience, I have had the privilege of getting to know so many wonderful people and have been able to cultivate meaningful friendships that have had such a positive impact on my life.”
— Susan Sugarman, Spouse

"City of Angels YPO Gold Chapter is a cohesive group of interesting and curious people. The chapter is open minded and transparent in how it operates; consistent monthly meetings on varied topics with great take-home value.”
— Aviva Covitz, Spouse
