Nominations Now Open for 2010 "Amy Jennings YP of the Year" Award

Nominations are now being acception for the 4th annual "Amy Jennings YP Of the Year" award.  2007 was the inaugural year for the Amy Jennings YP of the Year Award. The award was presented by the YPC board of directors to Amy Jennings after she completed her fourth year of service on the board.  It was then proclaimed that the award would be given annually to a young professional who demonstrates the mission of YPC through leadership in professional development, civic, charitable, and social endeavors in Greater Des Moines.

To be considered for the Amy Jennings YP of the Year Award, an individual must be nominated by someone other than him/herself and should display the YPC spirit of civic involvement, charitable giving, social activity and professional development. The winner of the award will be announced December 8 at YPC’s annual meeting.

The award selection committee is made of YPC Board Members and non-board members. All nominations will be considered in the selection process.

In addition to YP of the Year, YPC also recognizes the YPC Committee Member of the Year on each individual committee. These eight individuals are determined solely based on the decision of the chair for each individual group.

Connecting young professionals to each other through social, civic, charitable, and professional development endeavors is an overall focus for all goals of YPC. Only individuals whom best lead their peers towards achieving this are granted this annual recognition.

Please send completed nominations to Jessica Maldonado at jmaldonado@desmoinesmetro.com by November 24.
