Mission
The mission of Hays Young Professionals (HYP) is to promote the development, recruitment and retention of young professionals in the Hays area; to build a bond between the business community and young professionals; and to help make the Hays area the best place to live, serve, work, and play.
Who We Are
The HYP organization is an arm of the Hays Chamber of Commerce. Guidance for this group is provided by the Advisory Council. We are inspired by the wants and needs of the community, and we are here to make a difference. Individuals between the ages of 21-40, seeking to expand their business and professional contacts, interested in giving back to the Hays community, looking to meet new people socially, or those just willing to have a little fun!
