Executive Committee

The Executive Committee of EP4Y was formed in 2007 and established its governing body in spring of 2008. At that time EP4Y enlarged its scope by creating a number of subcommittees to support several initiatives in our community.  Subcommittees are made up of over 50 volunteers representing a broad spectrum of talents and responsibilities.

The Executive Committee is comprised of eight qualified individuals.  The purpose of the committee is to review the needs of the subcommittees, help facilitate support, and create awareness in the community.   The committee meets the third Friday of each month, 8:00-9:30 a.m. Membership includes chairs from each committee, Secretary and Chairperson.
