YNPN 2020 - A strategy oddessy

We're thinking long-term. We're looking at the big picture.

The future, when envisioned from the rooftop deck of the Des Moines Building, where we held our spring leadership retreat, seems pretty amazing.

But don't leave it up to a few people, fueled by pizza and Post-it notes.

Please, fill our our membership survey to let us know where we are now and where we can go!

May Discussion Group:
Embracing Wellness

 

When: Thursday, May 14, 8-9 a.m.
Where: West End Architectural Salvage & Coffee Shop - 22 9th St, Des Moines
Facebook Event


The importance of health and wellness is clear to everyone, but individuals and institutions embrace and support wellness in different ways.

Does your organization/company have a wellness initiative? How can you encourage a healthy workplace at a small non-profit? What wellness resources are available for Young Professionals and non-profits?

According to the CDC, “Effective workplace programs, policies, and environments that are health-focused and worker-centered have the potential to significantly benefit employers, employees, their families, and communities.”


But how can this translate to a non-profit office environment?


Architectural Salvage opens at 8 a.m. The discussion will begin shortly after.
