YPI Newsletter
It’s a new year! While many of us want to forget much of
2020, we cannot ignore the creativity, the skill-building, and, best of all,
the community it provided (ok, maybe not in-person). The Young Professionals
Initiative Steering Committee is excited to continue down this path of idea
sharing and connecting.
We recently had the opportunity to hear about YPI’s
beginnings and how the group’s current and former members have flourished in
the industry. With this in mind, we look forward to introducing new ways to
develop and network, building on the solid foundation YPI’s first members
constructed in 2008 and 2009.
When this group first started it was developed and created
with the idea to bring us together and as 2020 taught us, we needed that more
than ever. It allowed us to try those new things that we only talked about
before. “How can we do it?” well we learned and while some of us have become
professionals at “Zoom” meetings. We are going to take it to the next level and
provide even more comradery and connection than ever before. We are offering fun
events each month that will hopefully excite you to join us each month!
Monthly YPI Events – Join us for virtual events on the 4th
Wednesday of each month. From networking to skill-building, mentorship to
self-care, we will focus on building each other up. Some events will be solely
for YPI-aged members, while others will invite all IAFE members to join in the
fun!
Fairs & Expos Contributions – Keep an eye out for
articles and insights from our Steering Committee representatives in issues of
IAFE’s Fairs & Expos publications.
Stay Up-to-Date and Connected! – Make sure you are on the
YPI mailing list by filling out this online form. Also don’t
forget to follow us on Facebook (Young Professionals Initiative – IAFE).
Please feel free to reach out to us or any of our Steering
Committee members with questions or for support. We look forward to “seeing”
you at events and continuing to grow alongside you!
We are so excited to serve you as your leaders for the 2021
YPI committee chairs and look forward to “seeing” you on this journey ahead!
