New Leaders Yakima County

 

 

New Leaders Yakima County is an easy and fun way for the next generation of leaders to get connected in the community. 

New Leaders members have the opportunity to:

Stay informed on the latest in Yakima County 

Meet new people, both established community leaders and other young professionals

Participate in fulfilling volunteer projects

Expand leadership skills

Who are New Leaders?

New Leaders Yakima County is comprised of more than 400 of our County's dynamic professionals who want to do great things at work and in the community. These caring men and women come from a range of industries and backgrounds. Their desire is to stay connected and make positive changes in the community.

What do New Leaders do?

Throughout the year, New Leaders have the opportunity to participate in a range of organized activities that keep them informed and involved in community issues and events:

Events

These after-work gatherings take place on a Wednesday evening and are held at various venues in Yakima. Attendees enjoy drinks and hors d'oeuvres while networking with fellow New Leaders and established community leaders.  Each event also features a brief program about community issues.

The events are sponsored by organizations that see the importance of having informed professionals that will become the next generation of leaders in Yakima County.  If you are interested in sponsoring an event, or have an idea for a topic, please see the contact information below.  All events are planned by the New Leaders Yakima County Executive Committee and the committee will review your requests.

Service Projects

In 2007 New Leaders participated in United Way's Day of Caring.   New Leaders donned their grubbiest to help the YWCA begin renovation on the old Yakima Convalescent Building.  They scraped wallpaper, pulled up carpet, and had a great time.

This community-wide event features projects held at our partner agencies throughout Yakima County. From painting or landscaping to mentoring youth, these fun and inspiring projects give members the opportunity to work with agencies that serve local people, and help create a stronger, more connected community.

How do I become a member?

There are no special requirements to join New Leaders Yakima County.  All you need is a desire to learn about, and connect with your community among other like-minded leaders. For more information or to receive an invitation to the next event, please contact Tysa Kihn at 509.248.1557.
