Former YBPW Representative from Finland, Ketlin Tackman, asks question to Panel at the United Nations
The Young Professionals NFBPWC-NYC Program is created for NFBPWC-NYC members who are under 35 years old and is an extension of the organization and BPW International. While not a separate entity, it is understood that there are distinct needs of a younger generation (starting a career, professional development, balancing life and work, etc).
Recognized as equal partners in the sustainability of the organization, emphasis is heavily geared towards succession planning, and providing valuable leadership and skill development opportunities. Young Professional NFBPWC-NYC members are supported and encouraged by their local, national and international leaders.
This program provides a platform on a local, national and international level for young professionals to receive mentoring from seasoned women in business and to learn how to:
- run an organization
- serve on a board
- acquire new skills to bring to the professional world.
The Young Professionals work together with the seasoned members of the organization to accomplish common goals that satisfy NFBPWC-NYC’s mission and values. NFBPWC-NYC encourages intergenerational discussions, the exchange of skills based knowledge, and opportunities to mentor each other.
You can be as involved as you would like to be.
