Well, my name is Noah Venegas, and I am one of the newest YEP/Student/Mentorship Co-Chair members of your planning organization. I’m from the central valley, located at the gateway to Yosemite National Park in the heartland of Merced, CA. I am also currently a student member within your organization who is willing to learn and provide leadership skills to your great organization. I will also be a follower along the way, because without being a great follower, you can’t become a great leader, in my opinion. I am a highly motivated and skilled professional with a strong sense of trying to provide public service to my community. I am currently a board member advisor for the city of Merced, representing my local regional airport authority background in customer service, as well as a newly appointed Commissioner of Academic Affairs at one of the many colleges I am currently attending I am also currently pursuing a bachelor of science in industrial engineering technology, and I have consistently demonstrated my ability to work well with all kinds of diverse organizations and leadership. Throughout my experience, I have been recognized for my specific strengths or accomplishments, and I am confident that my expertise would make me a valuable asset to your great planning organization. I’m willing to volunteer my time and leadership skills to be part of something bigger than myself.
