I have been a member of yep! since 2006 and can attest to the value of becoming more involved in the organization. Although we are not compensated for our efforts, our leadership team is committed to making the Erie region a better place and providing our members with opportunities that would not be available otherwise. We rely on the commitment and dedication of our leaders to help improve the organization and I appreciate all of the work that the current and former leaders have done to ensure that there is a young professionals organization in Erie.
