What are YPG ’ s key performance indicators and how are you and your leadership team measuring your progress ?
I would say our performance indicators are looking at membership numbers , which include renewals , new members joining and sponsor retention . Now that we are fully back in person and bringing back events , we have also heard great feedback from members attending our events . This all comes from the hard work of our 40 board members , though ! As President and a six-year member of the organization , it is great to see new leaders emerge on our board and to see the dedication and creativity they bring to the organization .
How can local businesses partner with YPG ?
We currently have 10 sponsors , many of which are large companies in the area that employ young professionals . These are all very successful partnerships that we appreciate . As a sponsor , there is no cap on the number of employees who can be members of
VYPG . That helps us share our mission , but we also want to do our part in helping them retain their talent by getting them involved in the community . We are also open to the idea of smaller businesses sponsoring our socials or luncheons . Central Florida Eye Specialists sponsored our July monthly social by providing the appetizers that were served . This is a great way for smaller businesses to get involved if they cannot commit to becoming an annual sponsor .
What ’ s your elevator pitch to prospective members ?
Although I was born and raised in the area , I never knew how many opportunities were right here in Volusia County and how great our community is . VYPG has not only opened so many doors for me professionally and personally but has also taught me how much Volusia County has to offer and how much there is to do here . I encourage everyone to connect with us so we can help connect you with the community . No matter your passion or interest , we can help you find out where you fit in .
