Committees

Committees are the heart of GGFYP’s governance and operations. Board members and committee chairs are elected positions, but anyone can join a committee or more than one, if the volunteer bug has bit you hard.

Board of Directors
Board members determine the direction of the organization and control its purse-strings. Nine voting members, committee chairpersons among them, and an ex officio legal representative are elected by the GGFYP membership once a year. For more information on our board, head over to the Director’s page.

Community Involvement
If you’re looking to roll up your sleeves and do some volunteering, Community Involvement will hook you up. For more information email Justin Johnson.

Marketing Committee
When other committees need to get the word out about their activities, they turn to this committee. Marketing runs GGFYP.com, provides a presence on Facebook, sends out e-mails to members and advertise special events. If you have a talent for written and visual communication, Marketing could use you. For more information email Charlene Wifall.

Professional Development Committee
Like the old Army ads said, Professional Development helps you to “be all you can be.” This committee arranges seminars, workshops and classes that cover a variety of professional topics, from branding yourself to leadership. For more information email Michaela Schell.

Programs Committee
This committee is responsible for membership recruitment and interacting with other organizations in the committee. Programs’ signature event is the Executive Briefings, an ongoing series of Q&A sessions with different business leaders in the region in a small setting. For more information email Shanna Field.

Social Committee
Social is how GGFYP came to be. We started out with the goal of helping our members network and this remains an important mission. Social organizes monthly get togethers, holiday parties and other gatherings, the most well known being the annual ArtSee event held at the North Dakota Museum of Art.
