7 April 2008 Update on IYPF Activities in 2008
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Dear members and friends of IYPF

Greetings!

I'm sure many of you were wondering what is happening or has been
happening with IYPF in 2008. Since the AGM last year, things have been
pretty quiet publicly - we haven't even sent out a newsletter yet!

So this is a quick e-mail to break the silence and update you on IYPF
happenings ...

We have been primarily focused on the upcoming International Young
Professionals Summit being held in Manchester, UK in August this year.
Check out www.iyps.org for more information. We are pouring a lot of
resources in to this event to make it a huge success. It is our first
Summit outside of Australia, and our 3rd overall. Organising the IYPS as
a volunteer run organisation is hard work - but our last two Summits have
been amazing events and IYPS 2008 is shaping up as the best ever.

Things are falling in to place for virtual participation in many of the
Summit activities, so we are excited that many of you will be able to
participate either in person or online. Stay tuned for more information
on this.

As you can imagine, there are many ways you can be involved with us in
organising the Summit, so if you are interested, please contact us on
iyps2008@iypf.org.

Our team is also preparing a range of information to go out to all our
members and networks (i.e. YOU!), including details on how you can help
fundraise for a delegate to attend IYPS 2008.

So look out in the near future for a member update and our first
newsletter for the year.

On that note, we are totally changing our newsletter this year. It will
come out every two to three months (rather than predominantly monthly)
and will mostly consist of short snippets with links to full articles on
our website. This is part of our move to release information on our
website and blogs as a steady stream, rather than once a month, keeping
our website content fresh and interesting. You'll have the ability to
subscribe to blogs and feeds.

We need people to join our newsletter team to assist with writing and
publishing articles online - if you are interested, get in touch via
newsletter@iypf.org.

Following the AGM, the new IYPF Directors have been meeting and gearing
up for a big year for IYPF. They are finalising their Working Groups for
the year on Strategy, Fundraising and Compliance - there will be
opportunities for some of you to get involved in that in the near future.

On the staff front, the end of 2007 and start of 2008 has seen some faces
depart and some new ones step in. It is an exciting time and we look
forward to introducing you to our new team members in the near future, as
well as publicly saying goodbye to some great servants of IYPF.

The work of our Member Projects teamc continues and, as always, they are
on the look out for young professionals with great ideas for making their
communities better. If you have a great idea, get in touch with them now
on memberprojects@iypf.org to see how they can help you get your idea
developed, funded and implemented.

Finally, IYPF is working on launching 2 new activities in 2008 - our
inaugural IYPF Member Magazine and our Member Activities Fund.

As you can see, there IS a lot happening. And many more possibilities.

We would welcome any contributions and inputs from any of you - be in
touch and I am sure we can find an opportunity that matches your skills,
experience and passions.

I encourage you all to be courageous and full of hope - and to inspire
those around you to work to make the world a better place through actions
big and small.

Yours in partnership for a better world for all

Cameron Neil
