Young Professionals Committee
Chair : Scott Hanna
In an effort to diversify AmCham membership and bring into the fold the next generation of business leaders, AmCham has initiated a Young Professionals Committee (YPC). The organization is facilitating this new expansion by offering Special Member rates to young adults and encouraging these professionals to take advantage of AmCham’s networking, advocacy and business intelligence to help grow their careers.
The YPC will be targeting programs at young business people and students in their last year of undergraduate or post-graduate studies. Although programming is still being developed, core activities include YPC-specific networking events, professional development training, social events such as trips or tournaments, and collaboration with other professional societies operating in Indonesia. Young professionals are also invited to participate in general AmCham events and committee meetings. Their participation will introduce new energy and perspective to the Chamber as well as facilitate inter-generational exchanges in a business environment.
The committee will be hosting a launch party tentatively in June or event on July 27, 2010. Members are encouraged to introduce young professionals in their own companies to this new committee.
