Young Government Leaders (YGL) was founded in 2003 by a group of young government employees seeking to build new connections across federal agencies.   From the YGL web page history: “We are the only 501(c)(3) non-profit, professional organization founded by – and led by – young government employees. We work to actively build a community of leadership for public servants across the country by hosting a variety of events and programs designed to help new and aspiring leaders to gain an edge on their professional and leadership development, build lasting relationships with other aspiring government leaders, and develop potential solutions to the significant challenges facing government today.”You can find information about YGL, including how to get involved, at the national YGL site:
