Program introduction

The Young Professionals Group (YPG) Captain Program is designed to encourage participation in YPG events. Captains are awarded points for attending events, for each guest they bring to an event and through a variety of other ways during the year.

The top scorers at the completion of the YPG season will be awarded the following prizes:

Additional prizes will be awarded to eligible captains at selected events based on criteria specified prior to the event.

Scoring  

Captains are responsible for keeping their own score for each opportunity to earn points. There is a point log for each event and opportunity in which captains are able to earn points. Upon completion, each log should be submitted to the MNCPA membership coordinator. The coordinator will keep track of total points throughout the year.

Those captains who show commitment to the program will be recognized by the MNCPA in a letter to their managing partner or superior of their choice.
