YNPN-NYC's membership has now reached over 1,800, and our online community is more active than ever! The all-volunteer Advisory Board has been working hard over the past few months to implement some exciting new programs and events for the remainder of 2006.

Some upcoming events will be:

Other initiatives and programs we have in the works:
* Launch of Monthly Career Q&A in our monthly e-newsletter
* Speed networking event
* Continuation of the Hangouts at venues all over New York City

We are always looking for volunteers to help our various Board committees, as well as low-to-no-cost space for our events. If you are able to help with either of these, please contact us.

We would also like to thank all of you for contributing to YNPN-NYC's mission of supporting the professional development of the next generation of nonprofit leaders by providing opportunities for skill-building, information sharing, and networking. We urge you to send any suggestions or feedback to info@ynpnnyc.org; you will receive a prompt reply.

Our dedicated newsletter staff will be taking August off but the newsletter will be back in September. In the meantime, we hope you are staying cool and enjoying the summer.
