Young Privacy Professionals Roles and Expectations
Young Privacy Professionals (YPPs) work with their local KnowledgeNet Chapter co-chairs to plan networking activities. One or two YPPs are accepted per chapter (depending on the size of the chapter) and serve a one-year term. A YPP should be an IAPP member for at least six months and have attended at least one chapter meeting. To learn more about this opportunity, please see the IAPP KnowledgeNet Chapter Volunteer Resources page.
Young Privacy Professionals are expected to:
- Organize at least two networking activities per year
- YPP needs to confirm dates with the local chairs and make sure there are no conflicts with other meetings before planning a networking activity. Non-members that may be interested in privacy or the IAPP are welcome to attend. Attendees are responsible for their own expenses and no CPE credits are awarded.
- Assist local KnowledgeNet Chapter chairs as needed
- If an early career development meeting is scheduled for a chapter meeting, chairs are encouraged to reach out to their YPP and ask for insight.
The Call for Volunteers opens every September.
