Why are you interested in joining the KCYP Board of Directors?

“A community is composed of its individual members. In order for a community to be cohesive, these members need to communicate and work together to promote the health and vibrancy of the community.  I hope to take an active role within this community in order to promote growth and economic health for all of the greater Coeur d’Alene residents. One way for me to be active and stimulate growth within Coeur d’Alene is by becoming a board member of KCYP.  Through service as a board member I can reach out to the youth of Kootenai county and insight them to take action and help out their citizens and provide a better future.”

Why are you interested in joining the KCYP Board of Directors?

After a year of KCYP membership I feel that it is time for me to become more involved in the success of the Kootenai County Young Professionals (KCYP). I believe in the mission statement of KCYP and want to see this group advance and become more successful in our community. I am firm believer in the idea that one must become involved in those things that they want to see succeed, so it is only natural for me to make this progression into leadership.

I think I can help KCYP sustain the level of success we’ve had up to this point, and hope to engage our members more in the future.

I am interested in joining the KCYP Board of Directors for many reasons. It would offer a greater chance for networking opportunities and learning about the people and businesses in our area. I am newer to the area and am looking for ways to become more involved in our community. I am creative, driven and enthusiastic and I love to plan and coordinate events.

Why are you interested in joining the KCYP Board of Directors? 

I would like to join the board of directors for KCYP because I feel like this is a great group of individuals in Kootenai County. There are a lot of young professionals out there working hard to make a good living, gain experience, meet new people (around their age), and reach out in the community to make a positive influence. Plenty of networking groups are out there- but KCYP has a different demographic that I believe I fit in and can reach others out there to join too.
