We joined the CREFC Young Professionals (YP) network to foster meaningful business relationships and gain industry knowledge and have had the opportunity to be involved with planning and executing events and programs that the YP community has expressed interest in. After two years serving as YP committee members, we're excited to be given the opportunity to continue our support as Co-Chairs of the YP Steering Committee. We are dedicated to providing meaningful programs for members and a platform where others can contribute and engage with CREFC. We'd like to give a huge thank you to Lilly Kaufmann and Frank Yin for their dedication and leadership – we have big shoes to fill and are looking forward to continuing the CREFC YP mission.
