Twenty young professionals were selected to participate in YPAL’s ninth Emerging Leaders Program presented by Yum! Brands, Park Community, Learning House & YPAL Cares. Over the past three months these individuals took part in an accelerated and intensive experience designed to address the leadership development needs of young professionals. They finished the program with a clear understanding of their strengths, values and personality in the context of being a more effective leader.
Their class project centered on Quality of Life for Young Professionals in our city. Their findings and recommendations will be released soon.
Participants in the program were:
