Incoming HYP President Darlene Kuipers of Michigan Forestry Co. and new HYP Vice President Anne Reilly of Good Samaritan Ministries will lead the “group of passionate doers” this fall, according to outgoing HYP President Alex Zucco.

“The new board members that we recently elected truly reflect the best that our membership has to offer,” Zucco said. “I cannot wait to see (and still be a part of, in a different role) the next era of leadership under Darlene and this amazing group of people.”

Kuipers said the outgoing HYP board members contributed so much to the organization. In her new position, she’s excited to introduce fresh trailblazers to leadership roles in West Michigan.

“The outgoing board members this term can be credited with creating events that meet talent attraction and development needs and have helped HYP gain traction towards our vision of launching the next generation of leaders into our community,” she said. “As we move forward with continuing to provide high-caliber events, we aim to connect the dots between emerging YP leaders and opportunities to engage and impact in our community.”
