Membership Committee
The Membership committee is charged with attracting and retaining YPC members. We work on marketing strategies for current members, prospects, students, and anyone we think we should target to attract and retain. We set general rules and guidelines for YPC membership, help plan and execute various YPC events, as well as go into the community and share YPC information with others.
The committee is also responsible for the membership discount card program. To view the discounts currently available to YPC members please click here. If you are a current YPC member and need a card please click here for more information.
