This past 2011 year has been a busy time of strategic planning for some great initiatives that lie ahead for the province.  The Young Professionals Network (YPN) originated back in 2010 by former ASR President, Cliff Iverson.  Young ASR members from across the province were appointed to collaborate our ideas on how the ASR can better communicate amongst their members and how their committees can better assist with our success as REALTORS®.  This was also an opportunity for young members all over Saskatchewan to get a taste of committee work and find out what the ASR Committees are working on.  Since then, the Task Force has been evolving rapidly and continue to meet on a quarterly basis via face-to-face meetings, conference calls and SKYPE.

The Task Force has been laying down a foundation for a number of initiatives to help members get a solid start in the industry, assist with best practice ideas, and enhance awareness of networking events, volunteer and leadership opportunities, and professional development ideas.  The YPN will be making a request to become a standing committee for the 2012-13 year and we are currently looking for innovative, young members who are passionate about improving the real estate industry in our province and want to become further involved.  Agents from all over the province are welcome to participate, particularly in the rural areas.  Please contact Jessica Dunn, - Chair of YPN or Amber Tangjerd, ASR Board Member for more information on how to get involved.
