June Younger Members Update

During the month of May, the Dallas Branch Younger Members coordinated the monthly meeting, gathered for a social event, and joined together for a community outreach event.

As the Dallas Branch Director, Julie Jones successfully assumed the responsibilities of the Branch President for the monthly luncheon.  “Coordinating the monthly meeting gave me a better understanding of what goes into planning each of the meetings, as well as how to lead a large group.  I feel more branches should have a younger member month to let the YM's step up and take the lead.  The YM will be leading the chapter in the future, why not start now!” – Julie Jones, Dallas Branch Director

The Happy Hour at Henderson Tap House in Knox-Henderson district gave the YM’s a chance to network over drinks and appetizers in a social setting.  “I always have a great time at our YM happy hours and the one at Henderson Tap House was no different!  I enjoyed catching up with my friends and meeting new people. Great place to network, exchange contact info, and learn about each other’s latest job and social adventures!” – Angela Matthews, Dallas Branch President-Elect.
