The ACerS YPN+1 program aims to offer ways that Young Professionals Network (YPN) members may seek to become involved within ACerS and their divisions in leadership roles.
The YPN+1 program is a program that helps to provide leadership opportunities to ACerS Young Professionals Network (YPN) members within ACerS and their ACerS Divisions.
This program has been organized by the ACerS Young Professionals Network (YPN) and offers the following ways that YPN members may seek to become involved in leadership roles. Find out more about each of these leadership opportunities below.
YPN Division Liaison
The opportunity to become a YPN Division Liaison will provide the ability for YPN members to connect in a meaningful way to their ACerS Division, learn how the Division operates, contribute to Division decisions, help promote engagement with other young professionals, and more.
YPN Division Liaisons must be a member of ACerS Young Professionals Network (YPN) and a member of the specific ACerS Division.
The YPN+1 program is open to all eligible YPN members, although preference will be given to those who are not currently enrolled students.
As a YPN Division Liaison you will be expected to:
- Take part in division leadership conference calls (3-6 times per year).
- Identify and coordinate opportunities for YPN members to be involved in various Division activities.
- Take initiative to develop new activities and programs that support overall Division goals.
- Meet with other YPN Division Liaisons to share successes and challenges (3-4 times per year).
- Provide collective feedback, along with other liaisons, to the YPN Steering Committee.
