Young Professionals Advisory Council
AHRMM’s Young Professionals Advisory Council (YPAC) provides education, leadership and networking opportunities for young professionals within the health care supply chain.
YPAC CAREs! The four identifying pillars of YPAC’s work are to:
Connect – young professionals working in health care supply chain
Advise – AHRMM on the professional needs of early careerists
Represent – the interests of those 35 and under within AHRMM
Engage – students and young professionals in the work of the profession
YPAC provides a platform for professional development and a forum for emerging leaders in the field to address the unique challenges facing the next generation of supply chain professionals and influence innovative solutions within health care.
YPAC advises AHRMM staff on programs, services and policies that will leverage the talents of the organization’s diverse membership in order to captivate and actively engage early careerists in the work of the profession.
YPAC acts to raise awareness of health care as a career option within supply chain and guide students and young professionals seeking a pathway through the multi-faceted supply chain ecosystem.
YPAC seeks to build a community of experts who are prepared to lead AHRMM and carry out its mission to advance health care through supply chain excellence.
