New members or guests wanting to experience AYPN should consider visiting one of our committee meetings. Committees are the backbone of AYPN, planning all our events, working to recruit and retain new members, communicating with current members, and training new members to be leaders in our organization.

Community Outreach Committee
Community Outreach is a key component of AYPN's mission: "... support community involvement and to promote an overall investment in the future of Arkansas." The Community Outreach committee's primary responsibility is to provide volunteer opportunities for all AYPN members. It is the responsibility of the Community Outreach Committee to facilitate the selection and coordination of these efforts. CLICK HERE to go to the Community Outreach page.

Professional Development Committee
