The Young Leaders Steering Committee, which consists of 12 producer members, 8 M&S members and three officers, governs the activities and events of the Young Leaders program. Members can serve up to two consecutive three-year terms, and there can only be one Steering Committee member from any one dues-paying NSSGA member at a time. A term is from one Young Leaders Annual Meeting to the next, and at the conclusion of each event, all members of Young Leaders are welcome to apply for a Young Leaders Steering Committee vacancy.
Do you have any questions about Young Leaders or the Annual Meeting, and you're not sure who to ask? This year's Steering Committee members are happy to help! Please feel free to contact any of them below.
