History
For years, various emerging leaders in the San Diego community were interested in starting a YNPN chapter is San Diego. ln March of 2008, co-founders Emily Davis and Heather Carpenter turned YNPN San Diego into a reality. Within the next few months, Emily and Heather formed an incredible Advisory Board supported by multiple committees and established YNPN San Diego’s initial programming including networking events and a listserv for exchanging information. YNPN San Diego has since grown to include continuous online communications, formal networking events, professional development workshop series, and other member-focused programming while remaining entirely volunteer-driven and governed by an Advisory Board representative of the organization’s membership.
