Fiscal New Year

YGL's Fiscal New Year Celebration

The last Government Shutdown was hard on all of us and after it was over, we felt a wave of disappointment, low engagement, insecurity and disconnect across our entire government workforce. In order to help you stay strong, engaged and focused amidst adversities like govt. shutdowns, Young Government Leaders is starting a new initiative called Resilient We Rise FY20. If you want to be one of the first ones to hear what this initiative is all about, join us on Sept. 26 at The Hawthorne as we unveil this initiative for the first time! Spots are limited so sign up now!  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ygls-annual-fiscal-new-year-party-tickets-65683247361
