Through the collective voice of 2,600 members, YPW aims to continue effecting positive change in the city of Wichita. You can play a part in this by attending our monthly Community Action Forum. This is open to all YPW members. This is an opportunity for YPs to identify issues in the community, have their voice heard and take action.

Please email Suzy Finn to notify us that you plan to attend so we can reserve space appropriately.

HOW WE DECIDE TO TAKE ACTION

We have established two advocacy processes by which YPW can take a stance on an issue. Before moving forward with either process, we first ask: “Does this issue contribute to fulfilling our mission to attract, engage, and retain diverse young talent to effect positive change for a brighter future?”

If the answer is yes, the Community Action Forum group will bring the issue to the YPW Board which will decide to either take a stance as the Board of Trustees or to bring the issue to the broad YPW membership for input. Which path is taken will depend on a variety of circumstances, including time available to make a decision and type of issue.

Registrants of YPW events agree to allow YPW and its official photographer(s) to photograph them in the context of the event. Footage captured by the official YPW photographer may be posted on social media, shared with media outlets, and/or used in future print and electronic promotional materials.
