Many people don't realize how much VYP's existence as an organization relies on the support of its members. Since the inception of VYP, member support and volunteers have shaped the membership, programming, venues, community relations and more! Leading the membership in doing this is the VYP Advisory Council.

In the last year, the Advisory Council has established four subcommittees, allowing more VYP members to become involved and give back to the group. These committees include:

• Community Outreach Committee
• Marketing Committee
• Program Development Committee
• VYP Ambassadors

This year, VYP is pleased to have a strong council made up of veteran members. They are:

• William Paccione, 2010 Chairman, WSI- We Simplify the Internet
• Jammie Hsu, Immediate Past Chair, Proforma Element 7
• Jenna Byrd, Big Brothers Big Sisters
• Jonathan Campbell, Marsh
• Jonathan Catalano, Marketing Committee Chair, Realty Executives
• Melissa Jones, Port of Subs, Community Outreach Chair 
• Gina Madsen, Madsen Law Offices
• Mig Pascual, VYP Ambassadors Chair, Zappos.com
• Michelle Shetrom, Marketing Co-chair, Commercial Roofers, Inc.

Congratulations and thank you to this year's Advisory Council and all of those currently serving on a committee. If you're interested in becoming more involved with VYP, please contact us here.
