Here's what some of the 2011 Leadership Team has to say about the benefits of being involved in YPN:
-Rosita Lopez, 2011 Events Co-Chair
My involvement in leadership with Valley of the Sun YPN leadership has brought a renowned passion and enthusiasm for my career as Realtor. Believe me, as a brokerage owner, wife and mother of two wonderful boys, and being involved in several other organizations and committees, life can get hectic! But, the relationships I've developed and the confidence I have gained as a result of being involved in a leadership position with YPN are well worth my time and KEY in my growth as business professional. Because of YPN, I became a more balanced person and now feel empowered and believe that my involvement can, and is, making a difference.
-Veronica Barragan, 2011 YPN Chair
I got involved with YPN because I saw the need for the younger generation to get involved. I've spent the last 35 years in the real estate industry and I remember being young and new and wanting a "mentor" or others that I could relate to and help me grow. That's why I helped kick off YPN locally as an Advisory Board member just two short years ago. It is rewarding to help others and be a part of their growth. I have developed new relationships and am excited about the growth of our organization and look forward to many years of future growth and new relationships as well.
-Pattie Hackmann, Founding Advisory Board Member
I love the opportunity to be around like minded professionals who are willing to share their knowledge and learn from one another. YPN is a forward thinking group that's been missing from our industry and is now making an impact in growing the leaders of tomorrow, i.e. ME!
-Orlando Cazarez, Advisory Board Member
Being Chair-Elect has been tremendously rewarding; I've learned a lot
about leading a committee and how our governance model works. The
experiences from this year will help me in both my personal & professional
life for many years to come.
