7. NAYGN members, do you have great events or activities going on in your NAYGN chapter that are worth sharing with the rest of your NAYGN peers? The NAYGN official website (www.naygn.org) is always looking for more content from our many chapters so that we are better informed and connected. If your chapter has a story to share, please email it to communications@na-ygn.org and do include pictures. These materials will be used to populate our website blog and may be referenced/duplicated on our Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn pages. We look forward to hearing about your great work.
