🧠 What if better questions could lead to better work, better relationships, and better cultures?

Join us for PD After Hours: Curiosity Killed the Cat but not the Culture on Wednesday, October 21 at 6 PM at the SCI Building.

Explore why curiosity is more than a personality trait—it’s a skill that can strengthen listening, collaboration, problem-solving, and leadership.

Led by Wanda Taylor, Master Certified Coach, this interactive session will have you participating, asking questions, and putting curiosity into practice—not just sitting through a lecture.

✨ Free for PYP members | Tickets available for non-members

Come curious. Leave with a practice you can use the very same day!

🌟 20 Years of Impact: Celebrating the People and Stories Behind PYP 🌟

Our latest story features Justin Oswald, PYP President from 2023–2024!

Justin joined PYP looking to expand his network and become more connected to the Pensacola community. What he found was so much more—lasting friendships, leadership opportunities, and a deeper connection to the city he calls home.

From helping launch PYP's first podcast to serving on the board and eventually as President, Justin's PYP journey is a great example of how connection can lead to leadership and community impact.

Our Annual Meeting has always been a time to celebrate another year of PYP—recognizing accomplishments, welcoming new leaders, connecting with members, and looking ahead to what's next.

As we celebrate 20 years of PYP, we're taking a look back at some of the people and moments from Annual Meetings throughout the years. From past leaders to longtime members, these gatherings represent the people who have helped shape PYP and make our organization what it is today.

And now, it's time to celebrate 20 years together! 🥂

Join us for Cheers to 20 Years: A PYP Celebration on Thursday, October 22 at 5:30 p.m. at Bounce at Pensacola Beach.

We're bringing past and present members, alumni, community partners, and friends together for a relaxed evening of mingling, reminiscing, and celebrating PYP's 20-year legacy.

Take a look back at some of our Annual Meeting memories, then join us to make a few new ones!
