Meet Our National Leadership Team

Our Organization Structure

YGL is organized into the National Leadership Team, the Chapters, and the Advisory Panel.

  • The National Leadership Team coordinates all of YGL’s national programs and information sharing, as well as serving all members in the Washington, DC area with programming and events.
  • The Chapters represent groups of YGL members in metropolitan areas around the country, with their own information sharing, programs, and events. They serve the needs of emerging leaders on the front lines of public service.
  • The Advisory Panel provides senior-level strategic planning advice. Many members of the Panel have participated in YGL for many years and bring institutional knowledge and wisdom from having been there first.
