Each year the Young Survival Coalition hosts an Affiliate Leadership Conference for volunteer leaders from each YSC affiliate. The conference is held the third weekend in November and rotates between an affiliate location and New York City, home of the YSC national headquarters. In 2007, the YSC Houston Chapter hosted the conference with over 80 YSC leaders, staff and board members in attendance.
Save the Date!
The fourth annual Affiliate Leadership Conference will be November 14-16 in New York City. Plans are currently underway and will be posted on this site as soon as they are available. As part of the YSC's 10-year anniversary, this year's conference promises to be our best yet!
All YSC Chapters and Community Volunteer Group (CVG) leaders are invited to attend the conference. Each will be given specific leadership training skills and tools to assist them with leading their local Chapter or CVG.
Goals of this conference include:
- Understanding the roles, expectations and potential of YSC leaders
- Building leadership skills
- Learning relevant management strategies and techniques
- Sharing best practices
- Celebrating YSC successes
- Networking and building relationships with affiliate/national volunteers and staff
- Developing an action plan for implementation back home
- Refreshing our commitment to the YSC mission and customers, each other and staff/volunteers
- Creating partnerships. As the YSC continues to grow, it is critical that we effectively and efficiently share our knowledge, expertise and vision with each other so that we remain a powerful resource for young women whose lives have been affected by breast cancer. We look forward to this event and to the momentum that it will build as we move forward.
