Last Week to Submit Applications for the PYNL Board!
PYNL is looking for individuals dedicated to the non-profit sector to join our Board of Organizers. If you work, volunteer, or have an interest in non profits, PYNL encourages you to get involved with our 15 member Board. Board members serve three-year terms, commit to working with at least one committee, attending our bi-monthly board meetings, and of course promote PYNL's mission while having fun in the process.

Applications are due May 15th. The current Board reviews all applications and elects the next set of board members. Elections take place in July for a term beginning in September.
