Opportunity to serve
There are now 2 vacated City Director positions up for grabs and I've heard there's potential for a 3rd. In addition to the special election which will be held in a couple of months the 4 Ward seats will be up for re-election in November. Talk about opportunity to take things in a new direction. What we need is for some YEL members to throw their hats in the ring and make a run.
If nothing else it will generate some excitement and hopefully capture the attention of the younger generation.
So I pose this question: What do YEL members want to see? What kind of issues do the young professionals of our community care about? What will get people excited enough to go to the polls?
(You might be inclined to point out that that's 3 questions and not just 1 but before you do let me just say that really it's the same question posed 3 different ways).
