Young Emerging Lumber Professionals Program
What YELP Entails
The YELP program offers exclusive networking and professional development opportunities that only NAWLA can provide. Your cohort will decide what specific areas of development you want to focus on to ensure the monthly virtual programming is relevant and timely. The program will culminate in an in-person retreat where you’ll continue to grow your professional relationships with both your fellow class mates and NAWLA leadership.
Throughout the year, YELPers will be recognized as rising leaders in the industry through NAWLA’s communication channels, the NAWLA website, and at NAWLA’s Traders Market.
Eligibility Requirements
- Aged 40 or younger
- Employed by a NAWLA member company
- The class will be capped at 30 participants, and submissions will be selected based on work experience, professional achievements, and overall contributions to their companies and the lumber industry.
