Developing the next generation of leaders.
Impact: The CWCC Associate Board (formerly YP Advisory Board) hosts quarterly programs to engage other emerging leaders, provide tools and resources for development, create community, and give back. While programs are designed for emerging leaders, they are open to all (regardless of age). Please check out the CWCC events calendar to view and register for upcoming Associate Board events.
