what's new

We're excited to announce some new chair people taking on roles in yep!'s steering committee. Ben Pratt & Honey Stempka recently joined Jennifer Marz to head up the Membership Committee. They plan on hosting quarterly "New Member Orientation" meetings and they'll be actively recruiting at all of our events throughout the year. Feel free to reach out to any of them if you have questions about becoming a member.

Cynthia Lillis is our new Community Involvement Chair so she'll be organizing many community service events this year. She's very excited to be a part of yep! and is looking forward to connecting those who would like to give back to the community with those organizations that need the most help. Please get in touch with her if you would like to give some of your time, money, or effort in helping to make Erie a better place!

Bo Root is also new to the steering committee as our Policy Chair. That basically means any time we have a legal question we go to him. He's at many of our events and he always seems to have a smile on his face so feel free to introduce yourself to him!
