Committee of 100 YP Initiative

In October 2006, the Committee of 100 formed a new organization for young professionals under 35 to receive training and mentoring as future political leaders. Members of the Committee of 100 YP Initiative have monthly programs on economic development and public education topics. They also are invited to attend quarterly meetings with the full membership, task force meetings, and, on a rotational basis, lunch meetings with local elected leaders.

YP Initiative members also receive training in running a political campaign and being an effective board member. They attend city council, school board and county commission meetings and are mentored by individual members of the Committee of 100.

The Committee of 100 YP members coordinated a hugely successful Rock the Vote '08 event on April 17 attended by more than 350 young professionals and candidates. They also co-sponsored with WHNT-TV19 the Huntsville/Madison Mayoral Debate in August 2008 televised live with a special event at Monaco Pictures.
