Surveying Our Base, To Serve You Better

Like any community service organization, a key part of our mission is to keep our base flourishing. Most YNPN San Diego members have experienced our outreach through the monthly professional development and networking sessions, our community-serviced listserv, our blog, and the many opportunities to serve.

And, as an organization that aims first and foremost to cultivate the next generation of nonprofit leaders, it's important to know what kind of impact we've had on your lives. This year, we're surveying all our members so we can get that 360 degree perspective on your community involvement, professional pursuits, and personal tastes that make up the wonderful member base you are!

Our survey only takes 5 minutes, and you can find it here. Plus, take it over the weekend and you'll be entered into a raffle to win a $25 Amazon gift certificate! Thanks for your participation, and thank you for the feedback! We look forward to serving you even better in the next year!

I Love Birthdays

I love birthdays. Even as the years pass (and the numbers get bigger!), I love gathering with my friends and family to celebrate all that I have and all the last year has brought me. And while April is my birthday month, I now also get to celebrate YNPN San Diego every April too! We’ll be celebrating YNPN San Diego’s 3^rd Birthday on Wednesday, April 20^th at 57 Degrees from 6-8pm. We hope to see you there!

Not only is this a chance to celebrate YNPN San Diego’s birthday, but it also will be a chance to meet and mingle with other nonprofit professionals from throughout San Diego. It’s a great opportunity to network, make connections, reconnect with contacts or just relax after a long day! We’ll have a drawing for some special prizes, happy hour specials and cupcakes! Plus, we’ll be honoring three of our board members who are stepping down and welcoming our newest board members to the YNPN family. YNPN San Diego is now nearly 1000 members strong and we have many reasons to gather and celebrate all that this past year has brought us, and all we have yet to do!

So come by on April 20^th and join us for this special celebration! Let’s raise a glass (or a cupcake!) to this special group, see some old friends or make some new ones! I am proud to know so many of you through YNPN and to celebrate all that you do to make San Diego a better place to live. And let’s make a group birthday wish that this next year brings even more reasons to celebrate! Hope to see you there!
