THANK YOU to everyone who has joined YAP, our Young Association Professionals group. We are also now on LinkedIn if you prefer to join that way. REMEMBER - anyone can join. This is not about how old you are, it's about how young you think and about how you can support the next generation of smart, strategic association execs.
LOTS to report!
We're up to 83 members, which is AWESOME. Tell your association friends to join!
ANY MEMBER CAN BE AN OFFICER - just think about what "special skillz" you want to bring to the table, come up with a cool title for yourself (or I will) and let me know. Here's what we have so far:
- Robert A. Wolfe Jr. -YAP Social Media Guru and Cool Guy
- Lauren A. Wolfe - YAP Hostess and Party Planner
- Jamie Notter - YAP All Around Smart Guy and Generational Expert

WE HAVE A WEBSITE DOMAIN! We'll let you know about that later on, but we have amazing things in the pipeline for that.
WE WILL HAVE A PRESENCE AT ASAE's ANNUAL MEETING in San Diego and hopefully at every other ASAE conference. So find us, buy a t-shirt (I'll tell you about that later too), join then if you haven't already.
VERY IMPORTANT - If you are a YAP member who is NOT LOCAL to the DC metro area but are in town for some reason, BE SURE TO LET US KNOW and we will hook you up. Meet you for a drink, take you out on the town, whatever. Hopefully as we grow there will be similar groups in every major city - we're like Fight Club! Only with less bruising.
Technology enables community. See you at YAP.
The first rule of YAP is - you talk about YAP. The second rule of YAP is - you ALWAYS talk about YAP. And the final rule of YAP - I'm just kidding...there are no rules!
