QUESTIONS COMMENTS IDEAS

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION What is your chapter doing to recruit and engage young professionals? Do you think having a Young Professional position is a good idea? Why or why not? What is your chapter doing in the area of social media - the communications of choice for YPs?

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION What questions do you have about the whole issue of young professionals? What would you like to see AFP doing for young professionals? If you are not already giving an Outstanding Youth Philanthropist award at NPD, what has kept you from doing that?

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION What are the barriers your board sees that have kept you from either helping to establish a collegiate chapter or developing YIP programming beyond an N PD award? What else can we do to be helpful to you as chapter leaders?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP!
