About OCYP.

The Ohio Chamber Young Professionals (OCYP) is a statewide network built for professionals ages 20–40 or in the early to mid-stages of their career, across all industries.

We know the future of business in Ohio depends on strong leaders, bold ideas, and meaningful connections. That’s where OCYP comes in — a space designed to help young professionals grow, lead, and thrive.

What We Do
