Out of tremendous concern for the future of the CNMI, the Marianas Young Professionals, aptly named \u201cMYPros,\u201d was recently organized as a non-profit organization by a team of young leaders.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe founders of our organization represent such a broad range of professionals across the CNMI,\u201d said Bo Palacios, MYPros president. \u201cIt was important to all of us that our group be formed independently and organically so that we can represent the interests of our young people and not a specific interest group.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to Palacios, the founding MYPros board include vice president Nola Hix, Xerox sales executive; treasurer Nikki Villagomez, CUC watershed engineer; secretary Jacqueline Che, NMC director for Institutional Effectiveness; director Rep. Angel Demapan, CNMI House of Representatives; director Matt Deleon Guerrero, Lt. Governor\u2019s chief of staff, and director Kaitlyn Neises-Mocanu, REACH project assistant at the Commonwealth Healthcare Corp.\u2019s Division of Public Health Services.<\/p>\n
The mission of MYPros is to connect passionate, young professionals with opportunities to grow and engage socially, professionally, and civically for the benefit of the Commonwealth.<\/p>\n
\u201cPart of our goals is to find symbiosis between young professionals in different industries across the private, government, and non-profit sectors,\u201d Hix said.<\/p>\n
Demapan adds: \u201cWe are embarking upon a transition point here in the CNMI. Just look at our elected leaders for example. We have a lieutenant governor who is under 40. Seven members of the Legislature are also under 40. The time of the young professional is here.\u201d<\/p>\n
