Where do we start?

Project #1: Developing Shared StandardsDeveloping a set of shared standards will allow us to name the essence of what it means to be a chapter in our network and determine what supports and systems of accountability we’ll need to uphold these standards.

Project #2: Creating a Data CenterTogether, we’ll come up with a system for collecting and aggregating chapter level data that will create a cohesive story about YNPN, our chapters, our membership, and our collective impact.

Project #3: Setting up chapter input & decision-making structuresThis project will focus on creating a system of feedback and joint decision making for YNPN National and YNPN chapters that will create a stronger network that effectively engages the talent and perspective of all leaders.
