Fellow EPD members,

Now that YEL has been in place for nearly a year, it is just about
time for a change in leadership.  Each of the YEL councils is going to
replace the leadership so we can get some fresh blood in YEL.  If you
are interested in serving as the chair or co-chair of the Economic and
Professional Development Council, then please email Teal and me back
so we can compile a list of prospective candidates.  Please remember
too by being a chair or co-chair of a council also makes you a member
of the Leadership Council, which is the overall guiding council of
YEL.

YEL has come a long way this year and Teal and I have been very
fortunate to work closely with each of you.  If you are interested in
serving a leadership position within the EPD and YEL as a whole, then
please let us know.  If not, please note nothing will change with the
sub-councils until the new leadership is in place.  You each will be
able to continue in your same capacity within YEL and EPD.

Please let us know.

Thank you all,

-Takeo and Teal
