The McKinney Young Professionals was established in 2006 to provide a place where McKinney young professionals can connect with other young professionals. MYP is a quality group of diverse young professionals working together to showcase McKinney as the BEST place to live, work and play. We provide members with opportunities to get in front of and build relationships with local community and business leaders. Not only does MYP give young professionals a voice - it gives them an outlet for affecting change in the McKinney community. MYP seeks to work hand-in-hand with current community and business leaders to learn from their experiences and to create a young professional-friendly atmosphere.
