The Young Professionals Network is a program of the Saginaw County Chamber of Commerce. Led by the Program Director, the YPN committees provide insight and input for YPN programming and events. Following are a few opportunities for you to get involved.
YPN Steering Committee Members of the Steering Committee meet monthly to discuss the status of the YPN, guide decisions on the future of the program and work toward the growth and improvement of the YPN and young professionals in Saginaw County and the Great Lakes Bay Region. Diversity and differing professionals with a variety of experiences are encouraged to apply and serve as a YPN steering committee member.
The only prerequisites to serve on the YPN steering committee is that a steering committee member must be a current member of the YPN and must be employed by a Saginaw County Chamber of Commerce member business in good standing.
The YPN accepts applications all year long, but the sitting YPN steering committee and nominating committee reviews new applications each November for consideration and approval of new members to join the steering committee based on vacancy(s) and as deemed appropriate.
Program Committees The program committees are the leaders that plan the details of all YPN events. These committees set actions in motion that keep members of the YPN active, informed and engaged.
YPN members need not be a member of the steering committee to serve on a program committee. Program committees are made-up of both steering committee members and general YPN members.
Similarly to the steering committee, diversity and differing professionals with a variety of experiences are encouraged to apply to join a program committee.
Program committees are a great way to become more involved in the YPN -- to become familiar with its innerworkings, planning and operations, and to hone personal leadership skills while contributing to the betterment of the YPN.
If desired, program committees can be a great conduit to potentially serve on the steering committee.
