Generation Iowa, a site by young Iowans for young Iowans, has a Twitter. So does Chuck Grassley. Should Grinnell Young Professionals start a Twitterfeed? Share your opinions in the comments.

YP Day at the Capitol 2009

The next YP Day at the Capitol will be February 23, 2009. This annual event was started by YPIowa in 2007 to unite young professionals across Iowa and provide an opportunity to connect with legislators. Many of your YP organizations have participated in in the past, and YPIowa wants to offer you the opportunity to be involved in the planning process as well.

We will hold a statewide conference call every other week starting Tuesday, December 16, at 11:00 a.m. The calls will be brief, about hour to 45 minutes, and will outline the following:

*Main objective and programming
*Schedule of events
*Logistics
*Marketing of the event to YPs

If you would like to participate please join the conference call or email me at jypalmer@gmail.com for the conference call details. We welcome everyone's participation. If the call times do not work with your schedule but you would still like to be involved please let me know. If you are not the correct contact for this event, please forward this to the person who is. Thank you!
