IYPF turns 10

10 years ago, in October 2001, more than 120 young professionals convened on Australia's Gold Coast to discuss and plan for how they could help tackle poverty, sustainability, and human rights challenges facing their communities and the world.

Out of that meeting, the IYPF was born.

IYPF UPDATE: Welcome to 2011 & New Board

 

Dear Members and Friends of IYPF,

Welcome to 2011! This monumental year marks the UN International Year for People of African Descent, the UN International Year of Chemistry, the UN International Year of Forests, and the UN International Year of Youth. What an incredible year we have ahead of us, and with merely four years until 2015; the target date of reaching the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDG), now is the time to gather every international young professional on the planet working for change to inspire, change, create and grow.

Are you excited? IYPF is. IYPF is. 2010 ended on a high with the UN MDG Summit, concluding with the adoption of a global action plan to reach new major commitments to women's and children's health and other initiatives against poverty, hunger and disease. The IYPF ended the year by electing a new Board of Directors to continue the work of renewing and rebuilding the organisation so that it can support, mobilise and connect young professionals in their pursuits of global change and betterment. You can get to know your new Board – all outstanding international young professionals – by accessing their profiles here on our website here.

Our AGM in December was also catalyst for moving forward and you can access the minutes or AGM presentation online. IYPF is in the process of transforming and reforming to better:

  • Highlight the powerful position and influence Young Professionals have both inside corporations and through government
  • Encourage Young Professionals to actively help make a difference
  • Improve the capacity of Young Professionals making a difference through information, knowledge, & connectivity

Are you a Young Professional trying to make a difference? Young Professionals, aged 21 to 40 in their early to middle careers, are ideally placed to influence and capable of driving current and future change in the world. IYPF exists to help Young Professionals realise this potential, to take advantage of this position, and to eventually help them take their place as the world leaders of tomorrow. Becoming a member of IYPF is one way to demonstrate your commitment to engaging in change as a professional, but also an opportunity to take the next step and become involved in making a difference. As a member you join young professionals from over 130 countries across the globe!

Already an IYPF member but have been looking for an avenue to get more involved? Want to give your non-profit or NGO the edge or support it needs? Want to network with like-minded young professionals and established international professionals? Simply have a dream to make a difference? 2011 will be a big year for IYPF and we need as many hands involved as possible. Watch this space for more details of how you can help us, and IYPF can help you, by helping the World.

Your friend, colleague and fellow young professionals,

The International Young Professionals Foundation Board of Directors.

17 DECEMBER - 2007/2008 IYPF Reflections and Report
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

The IYPF consolidated its developments in the 2006/2007 financial year and continued to implement its new strategic plan over the course of 2007/2008.

Overall, we continue to build and resource a global network of young professionals who are creating a better world for current and future generations through local and global action:
• Facilitating conversations and information sharing between young professionals that informs and inspires them to take action on important local and global issues through online communities, newsletters, blogs, publications, and presentations.
• Running projects that facilitate youth and young professional led social change, e.g. the Blueprint Project, to nurture youth entrepreneurship; the Youth & Sustainable Communities project to develop young sustainability leaders
• Assisting young professionals to start and run successful community projects and local events
• Convening regular international summits of young professionals, i.e. 3rd IYPS in Manchester, UK in August 2008

In the 2007 / 2008 Financial Year the IYPF had 4 major sources of income:
1. Membership payments from young professionals
2. Interest on accounts
3. The otherWISE project
4. The Foundation for Young Australians Youth Change Maker grant

The Youth Change Maker grant was receipted and expended over the course of the financial year. The otherWISE project income and expenditure delivered a slight loss on our operations. Overall, the Foundation recorded a slight loss ($695), which was a significant improvement on the previous year (loss of $2213). Significantly, membership income increased ($803 compared to $54) and overall revenue increased from $1804 in 2007 to $15008 in 2008. The end of financial year loss reduced our equity to $6927 moving in to the new financial year.

The principal activities of the year remained focused around the Company’s objectives:
• To promote and encourage the work done by young professionals in effecting positive global change.
• To facilitate the implementation of projects developed by members to address the issues of concern in the global community, which are consistent with the objects of the company, including the raising of funds where necessary.
• To further the networks formed during the International Young Professionals Summit 2001 and provide an ongoing platform for organisation and convening of future events and Summits and projects.
• To promote recognition of, mobilise and enhance the capacity of Young Professionals internationally to provide leadership and take action on global issues
• To undertake research and advocacy in regards to issues identified by members as vital to the
creation of a preferred global future.

The IYPF continued to pursue its vision and mission:
• VISION - A global community of young professionals creating a better world for current and future generations through local and global action
• MISSION - Informing, inspiring and equipping young professionals to change their world for good.

Much of the second half of the financial year focused on organising the 3rd International Young Professionals Summit, the IYPF’s flagship international conference. This event was held in Manchester, UK, in August 2008.

Convening the International Young Professionals Summit 2008 drained all of the IYPF’s human and financial resources, as well as leading to a complete rethinking of the IYPF’s operational goals and activities.

Over the course of the 2008/2009 financial year, the IYPF will need to:
• develop a new strategy
• engage a new leadership team
• focus on significant fundraising activities to secure operational revenue

A number of developments will likely impact on operations in future years:

(a) The IYPS 2008 in the UK may have important tax and income implications for the IYPF, i.e. overseas income. The Board and executive will need to research – and possibly engage some expert opinion – in regards to the impact of these activities on income tax exemption assessments.
(b) A new focus on engaging young professionals in the Millennium Development Goals between now and 2015 will require a rethinking of strategy and a different operational emphasis
