Tell us why you would like to serve on the YPWA Board.

I am a new member this year, and when I was inquiring about becoming a member, I became very excited about everything I was learning about YPWA. It was also a bonus to see that it was voted Worcester’s Best Young Professional Network!

My initial experience was working with a current member to help with some troubleshooting through the website in order to make a membership payment. Throughout the entire process, I felt very comforted and welcomed and assured that we would get it sorted out one way or another. For me, this confirmed that YPWA is a strong and welcoming community that I was excited to be part of.

I have lived in Worcester for just over 5 years now and am very interested in getting involved in supporting the community of Worcester. I am currently involved with a local non-profit (E for All) as a mentor and have loved the experience. This has inspired me to seek additional opportunities to continue to impact the culture of growth and empowerment throughout the Worcester community. I would also love to continue to grow my personal network within the community.

I am looking forward to the opportunity to be involved in coordinating upcoming events and becoming part of the reason others want to join YPWA. I hope to help others feel empowered and engaged with the association and community. I would also love to use this opportunity to continue my professional growth and development of my leadership skills along with connecting with other female leaders in the community to continue to grow the association!
