“I’m thankful for the opportunity to lead the 2024 MYP Committee this year. I look forward to building onto this organization from the committees that came before me, that made MYP what it is today. Our goals for this year are to providing a welcoming environment for all, where Young Professional can get together to grow professionally, personally and make new friends along the way. We always look for ways to serve our community and make an impact in the best way possible. Here’s to another exciting year ahead filled with change and opportunities!”
