The YAYAHPs are a group of young professionals who work in public media development, marketing, corporate support, and many other areas. We are eager to make our voices heard in our industry as we assume greater roles within it. We are not afraid to try new things, embrace new technologies, and make DEI work a central focus of our organizations. We take time every few months to gather, share ideas, and establish connections to strengthen our work and the public media system as a whole.
