The duties of the YPC chairs are as follows:

-Chair:  Organize all YPC conference calls.  The Chair will monitor and assist all members of YPC with duties, reinforcing concrete goals and deadlines as necessary.

-Vice Chair:  In preparation for his/her term as Chair, the Vice Chair will engage in long term goal planning for YPC and will act as the point of contact for any new initiatives or programs brought to the attention of YPC.

-Past Chair:  In an advisory position, the past chair will share his/her knowledge and experience with the current Chair and assist in the duties of managing YPC as required by the Chair.    
 

Each officer will act as the YPC representative to one of the following Operating Councils:

  •  Career and Education (CEOC)
