New Professional Development Focus
Professional development is one of the founding principles of NA-YGN and the Core decided
to re-commit ourselves to this important tenet by offering a monthly professional
development presentation and talking points to our 50 local chapters. Some ideas for
topics include: business etiquette, developing a personalized career path and how to
manage collegues with more experience.
We are in need of a lead and team members for the Professional Development "Hot
Topics" drive for the year. This role entails enabling a monthly PD workshop via the
internet, coordinating qualified speakers, and ensuring materials are passed on to website
team. The committee members would need to commit about 4-6 hours over several months, but
would have the opportunity to lead a project from conception to completion and would
significantly build their network. The committee lead would need to commit 1hr per week
and have an extensive network.
