Dear YEP-DC members,
We’ve got three important announcements for you:
1. We’re on Facebook!
2. We’ve got new Leadership Team members!
3. We’re in the middle of our annual fundraising drive!
Read on for more information.
Hi Greater DC, Let’s Be Friends
YEP-DC, the District of Columbia’s largest organization connecting tomorrow’s education leaders, is pleased to announce the re-launch of its Facebook page. With a strong presence on Twitter and LinkedIn, YEP-DC decided the time was right to revamp its Facebook status after a two-year hiatus.
“Ultimately, we’ve tried hard not to pursue every social media fad just for the sake of it,” said Andre’ Wesson, YEP-DC Communications & Marketing Chair. “Our leadership team is truly committed to fostering a sense of community among the young education professionals. Whereas LinkedIn showcases our members’ professional accolades and accomplishments, Facebook will highlight our social interests and activities—allowing all of us to gain a better sense of community.”
Keep up-to-date with all things YEP-DC through Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. We look forward to continue building our membership and creating a community of well-informed leaders who will contribute to our country’s education system.
Welcome New Leadership Team Members!
YEP-DC is excited to introduce several new members of our Leadership Team:
- Kaitlin Pennington, Vice President of Communications & Marketing
- Tammy Whyte, Vice President of Programming
- Elizabeth Toth, Vice President of Membership
- Yair Inspektor, Community Engagement Chair
- Haley Nicholson, Conference Chair
These new leaders bring passion for education as well as a fresh perspective to the organization’s Leadership Team. More information on our new leaders is available at http://www.youngedprofessionals.org/yep-dc-leadership-team.
