YJA's Executive Board has a new face. The results of our recent elections leave us with quite a diverse group of leaders. Besides the obvious increase in number of Executive Board members; the distribution of ages and occupations reflect YJA's goal to meet the needs of all its members. The newly elected board consists of undergraduate and graduate students as well as young professionals. Full of enthusiasm, professionalism, leadership, creativity, and motivation, the group will be pivotal in continuing to successfully cater to youth nationally and internationally.
