The events you love don’t plan themselves; they’re built by young professionals just like you. GGFYP’s pillar committee is where members go from attendees to makers, shaping events that define our organization.
It’s a great way to give back to GGFYP, build your professional skills, and put your stamp on what GGFYP looks like this year.
GGFYP is more than events on a calendar, it’s the friendships that happen in between. Whether you want to lead a volleyball team, organize a book club, or build something totally new, GGFYP gives you the community to make it happen.
Have an activity in mind? Reach out to our Members-at-Large (MALs) and get the conversation started!
Lead a ggfyp activity
Become a member-at-large
You’ve learned what GGFYP means to this community; now, imagine helping lead it. The Member-at-Large (MAL) role is the perfect entry point to the GGFYP Board of Directors. No prior board experience required, just a passion for GGFYP and a willingness to show up.
If you’ve been thinking about taking the next step, this is it.
LEAD
Advocate for your coworkers
Share your GGFYP experience with your coworkers! Corporate sponsors get employee memberships covered. That means you, your coworkers, and your whole team can show up, connect, and grow together with your company’s support!
We will help you talk to your boss. It’s easier than you think.
Leadership doesn’t happen by accident, it happens when the right people raise their hand.
GGFYP’s Board of Directors is made up of young professionals who chose to go all in for this community. From setting the direction of our events to representing the voice of YPs across Greater Grand Forks, board members lead with purpose and grow in ways that go far beyond the boardroom.
If you’re ready for more responsibility and a bigger seat at the table, we want to hear from you.
