In 2000, two men and two women in their lower 30s formed in New York City what is now known as the Apex Society. Accomplished in their careers at a young age, the founding members aimed to create an organization or "society" specifically for young professionals. This society would comprise of the most talented individuals across many fields in hopes that the members would interact to form new initiatives. Likewise, their goals included creating an exclusive society that focused not on the individual member, but on the total group making an impact in society as a whole. In the same way that the letter "A" comes to an apex formed by three supporting segments, the Apex Society consists of smaller units that come together to form a larger meaning. Still several years later, one will have a difficult time identifying members, and the society continues to carry a unique and prestigious mystique acknowledged all around the world.
