Editor's Notes
- Are there any young people here? Are you new in the field, but ambitious. Maybe got ideas for helping the society on the state or national level that you would like to share, but don’t have any idea how to go about sharing or implementing your ideas? Ideas like how to brand the society better, improve its website, workshops and symposia that are needed. You just don’t have any idea were to start, who to talk with. You need to join the YPC.
- During my first year as a master’s student, I met with an old-timer range professional that was visiting BYU to give a seminar. This guy was about to retire and he knew all the ropes about the range community. Yet, I knew that I had stuff to contribute, but I didn’t know how to get involved. I asked for his advise. He suggested that I get involved with SRM. So, the next couple of years I would try to go to committee meetings during the national annual meeting. The first thing I noticed was that these committee’s we already on trajectory that I had very little understanding of because the committee members were all old timers. So, most of the time, I would sit in the back and just listen not knowing how to bread in. I really didn’t get anywhere. Well, last year I was determined to become involved in something at SRM. I came across the YPC. These are all young professionals like myself. We were all in the same boat and trying to find our way through. I attended the social were I was able to identify with my peers and the business meeting was able to talk with and ask questions to some of the current and past leadership of SRM. I was able to be involved in the business of the YPC. I was excited some of the others described to me how they used YPC to help them move their career forward and get involved with in the Society. So what is the YPC?

- Social media is one area that I think has been one area grossly under utilized from a professional standpoint.
