SAF’s Young professionals, or YPs, are professional members under the age of 40 that are not enrolled at a college or university. The YP Event Planning Team serves this diverse group by organizing several events a year to help YPs grow into successful and engaged mid-career professionals. These events are held virtually through ForestEd, so YPs can connect from anywhere.

These sessions are available only to SAF members. Participating in these virtual sessions hosted by SAF's young professionals is a great way to receive, contribute, and add value to your SAF membership. JOIN SAF to engage in SAF's Young Professionals group and tap into the growing membership benefits.

This will be a Question & Answer style session, focusing on Terry’s approach to team development, trust-building, and adapting to change. We will wrap up the session with an audience Q&A, so come prepared with questions for Terry! Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from one of the forestry sector’s most thoughtful and experienced leaders.
