• Promote collaboration with Fellows, YPs, and Junior Fellows (JFs) within DC Section and District IV
• YP Officers are encouraged to participate in JF programming at the Section level
  • For example, mentor JFs, both informally and formally, through the ACOG Mentorship Program
• Share ideas and perspectives of YP transition from training to practice
• Communicate National and District policies and information to DC Section YPs
• Participate on social media platforms, supporting Section & DIV content
• Opportunity to serve on Section, District, and National Committees as offered/needed to ensure representation of YPs
• Participate with DC Section Fellows and JF Officers

The DC Section YP role does not currently involve travel. Future travel may be funded by DIV.
