Not convinced? Read these testimonials from a few members as to why they chose to financially support the organization:

“I chose the paid membership because YLNI offers the opportunity for political involvement, public service, personal skills and social interaction. To do all this with high quality requires funding, and I think the membership price is more than fair for the benefits YLNI affords."
- Alex Platte with Rothberg Logan & Warsco LLP, YLNI member

“I really believe YLNI gives members of the community the events and programs to engage in both quickly and make a real difference. Membership is a really good value for the money! The Hot Spots, informative programs and committee work are all great ways to get involved—for such a low price!”
–Meredith Palmison with Macey and Aleman, YLNI Hot Spot Co-chair

“YLNI produced a wonderful Vision 20/20 brochure, detailing the results of the Vision 20/20 survey. We had a few great sponsors in Lincoln Financial Foundation and had awesome work done by Lincoln Printing, One Lucky Guitar and Lynchpin Pictures, but we still had some financial difficulty producing a quality brochure on our limited budget. I realized that I didn’t have to pay dues to participate; however, I realized that paying dues really improves YLNI’s programs. If everyone in the network was a paid member, YLNI would have the ability to do some really awesome projects – so I sent in my membership fee! Hopefully others will, too.”
-Monica Freeman, former YLNI Vision 20/20 Co-chair

“The paid membership allows access to events at a less expensive rate, and it’s extremely affordable for the benefits and networking available through YLNI.”
-Tonya Kaiser with Summit City Reporting, YLNI the Vote Chair
