Dear Members and Friends of
the Young Affiliates:
Happy YAM New Year! What a
wonderful year it is going to be.
Thanks to those of you who
attended the annual meeting.
To those unable to attend,
you missed a very informative
session which included an overview
of all that we have accomplished
this past year as well as changes
and goals planned for the year
ahead. Your new YAM Board
is now officially voted in and
we are thrilled to be leading
one of the premier young
professional groups in Charlotte.
We look forward to all that
we can accomplish this year along
with your support. To learn more
about your new Board, click here.
Please take a few moments to read
through the presentation by clicking

have accomplished and where we
plan to go is a great way to be more
committed to the organization.
One of the most exciting efforts
planned for the coming year is the
purchase of an art acquisition on
behalf of the Young Affiliates of
the Mint for the new Mint Museum
Uptown. Due to a very successful
2009-2010 year, we were able to
make a down payment on the piece
and plans are to complete payment
of the acquisition using funds we
hope to gain through our 2010/2011
fund-raising efforts. Bamboo artist
Kawana Tetsunori will be creating
a magnificent piece to be included
in the Mint's collection. Find out
more about this fascinating artist
and his work by clicking here.
Please know that our Board
members want to hear from
YOU! Feel free to share thoughts
or ideas with us at any time by
reaching out via e-mail,
phone or at any of our events.
We invite you to INVEST in the
organization, ENGAGE with a
committee, ATTEND our various
events and EXCITE in all that will
take place in this year!
Sincerely,
Tiffany Lee, President
Emily Walker, Vice President
Brian Ford, Past President
