September 2007

PYNL is Ramping Up for Fall 2007...
Now's a Perfect Time to Get Involved!
After scaling back for the summer months, PYNL is looking forward to an exciting fall. We have a great new group of board members and lots of programs and events in the pipeline.

PYNL's Emerging Leaders Board Training Program is underway and off to a great start! Seventeen new members joined ELBTP this summer and we kicked off the new session with an orientation and board service overview earlier this month. We look forward to another exciting and productive program.

In the coming months, look forward to a new slate of Leadership Lunches and a celebration of PYNL's 5th Anniversary!

There are lots of opportunities to get involved with PYNL at the committee level and help us plan and carry out our programs and events. To learn more about joining a PYNL committee, visit our get involved section.

We look forward to seeing you this fall!
