MEMBERSHIP

Every YPO Gold member belongs to the same great network we valued as YPOers – both a local and regional network of chapter peers and a global community of 34,000 leaders in more than 140 countries and every business sector. This is the beauty of YPO-YPO Gold, the business and family connections that are close to home, across the border and around the world. As YPO Gold members, we have all the advantages of YPO membership – plus exclusive benefits available only to YPO Gold members, such as a tiered dues structure that discounts international dues, the option of no annual dues through Lifetime Membership. These YPO Gold-only benefits reward our longtime commitment to the organization. Our organization has never been more vital, dynamic and poised for growth. This is an exciting time to be a YPO Gold member for many reasons, but most of all because learning to be a better leader takes a lifetime.
YPO Gold tiered International dues structure:

• Age 51 through 64 – Chapter dues allow members to attend all events.
• Age 65 – 80 – Chapter dues will drop to different levels of membership based on age and allow attendance at a limited number of events.
• Age 80+ - Members are considered honorary, do not require a dues payment and can attend all events at no charge.

YPO Global Lifetime Membership offers you a cost-effective way to ensure continued access to YPO Gold benefits and services. Particularly if you're still active in your business but are considering selling or making some other change, life membership is your opportunity to recognize the financial savings and incurring costs at an optimum time. Both annual and lifetime dues amounts are established each year by the YPO-YPO Gold International Board based on actuarial formulas developed specifically for YPO Gold Lifetime dues rates and are calculated based on a discount percentage off the total future dues payments including inflation. YPO Gold Chicago does not offer the option of lifetime dues.
