Standards
First Steps
•Reviewing Chapter Levels Guide created
in 2009
•Come up with areas where they are
gaps for Novice, Emerging, and Affiliate
chapters

"what do we mean when we say a
chapter is a Novice, etc? what are the
key characteristics?“
22. Project #2: Setting up
chapter input & decision-
making structures
First step:
•Brainstorm the areas where we make
decisions categorized as "Chapter,"
"National" and "Together;"

someone to do some research before the
next call;
•Determine goals of each upcoming bi-
monthly call
23. Project #3: Creating a Data
Center
First Steps:
•Send survey to entire network about
data collection and management
•Share results and recommendations
24. Next Steps:

you want to update your task force
Keep an eye out for email confirming
meeting schedule.
IntroThanks for being on the call - we’re glad folks were interested in learning moreSince this is a slightly more intimate call we’re going to see if we can go without muting the whole group so that it’s easier for folks to chime in, but we do ask that if you’re in a noisy space, you mute your own phoneWe’re going to try and save most of the call for Q&A but we thought through some questions that you might have and will start by answering some of those before opening upIn the meantime you can use the chat box along the side or the raise hand feature if you want to chime in or submit a question while we’re talkingThought we’d start by having everyone on the call introduce what chapter they’re from and one thing they’re hoping to get out of the call - the more specific the better

I’ve been doing a little bit of travelling for the past few months and ever chapter that I met with, I would say to them, “we’re going to put the call out for chapter leaders to join these task forces that are going to develop systems and protocol that we’ll want chapters to adopt, what would that process need to look like in order for you to feel as though you had input along the way and could make an informed decision about whether or not to adopt a proposal when it was set up.” We heard time and time again that you needed representation right from the beginning. So the best way that we could think to do this was with a chapter congress.We’re calling it beta because one of the actual projects that the congress will take on is figuring out what a more permanent decision for chapter input and decision making should be, but we think this is a good structure to get us going. (Even in the most decentralized processes, there has to be a process for figuring out the process. This is that process.)For those of you who haven’t had a chance to go to the rep submission form, there’s a place there where reps can talk about what interests them about the chapter congress. The responses are all a bit different but there are definitely two themes emerging and they’re right on - 1) people see that YNPN as a national network is on the cusp of big things and they want to be a part of it, 2) Their chapter has put in place some really solid programs, structures or even principles and they want to share that with the network.That’s what’s so great about this chapter congress - it’s this perfect reflection of how our model has played out nationally - we create a basic structure for people to connect with and they - all of you - will bring ideas and skills far greater than anything we could have come up with on our own. Also, to be clear - there’s actual work to be done. The whole point of this is that we need to come up with actual systems that will be implemented and we need not only the ideas but the capacity you bring to develop those proposals.So we structured the chapter congress with that in mind
YNPN 3.0 is about getting us to the place where we can actually take on those big ideas.
