Happy Thanksgiving to all of our YANA DC members! We are thankful for your commitment to increasing the impact of Yalies for the social good in the DC metro area, and we look forward to even more of it in the year to come. We're excited about our upcoming plans, including our first group volunteering event on December 13 (details below).
Our November panel event,
Responding to Upheaval, was an amazing opportunity for our members to meet with practitioners in the field to discuss their work and recent events. The panel discussion was lively and interactive. Many thanks to our panelists and moderator and to Squire Patton Boggs LLP for providing space and refreshments.
