Mission Statement
The Young Professionals Caucus provides a network and peer connection resource for AACRAO members. They work to help young higher education professionals gain confidence in what can be an intimidating and overwhelming profession. They help answer unique questions about furthering education, balancing work and young families, etc. The Caucus seeks to provide a non-judgmental space for members to ask questions, network, and share experiences with a group of their peers. The caucus also seeks to provide mentorship for new professionals to seek guidance from those with more extensive experience.
The Young Professionals Caucus connects via the Exchange and meets at the monthly Caucus Gatherings. They also convene at AACRAO’s Annual Meeting. The Caucus welcomes AACRAO members under 40 years of age. The Young Professionals Caucus does not seek to be exclusionary, but rather provide a comfortable environment to seek assistance and ask questions among peers in the profession.
