January GLBR YPN Newsletter article by GLBR YPN Chair, AmyLou Gage
Happy New Year! The Great Lakes Bay YPN is
excited to begin our 2013 events. We have a new vice-chair, Ryan Guillen, who will be stepping into my role as Chair later this year. He is also currently serving as GLBR YPN RPAC chair as well as BCRA RPAC Vice chair. Thank you Ryan for your continued commitment. I also want to thank Maureen for the wonderful job she does as our staff liaison, she is the woman behind the entire network. And of course, we would not be a viable network without the rest of the advisory board, Tracy, April, Will, Matt and Linda.
Rob Reuter, NAR's YPN manager stated "Since taking off in 2009, YPN posted a third consecutive year of increased membership numbers in 2012 adding 45 new networks and an estimated 10,000 new members for a total of 272 networks and 30,000+ members." That is awesome! It's great to be apart of it. The GLBR YPN currently has 100 members as of December 2012. What an
achievement!
Rob also states that, "Moving into 2013, we’re pleased to announce that nearly 100 NAR committee positions have been given to YPN members this year, the highest it has ever been since NAR CEO Dale Stinton created the initiative in 2010 to appoint two YPN members to each NAR committee. The recommendation process for 2014 NAR Committees opens March 12th and closes May 23rd."
If you are interested in becoming more active in the GLBR YPN in 2013, please let us know! You can attend events, sponsor events, become involved in community outreach programs, assist in RPAC awareness & fundraising, mentor or be mentored, learn to lead or assist others in learning to lead or just plain network with other professionals.
I hope to see each and every one of you this year! Have a fantastic 2013!
