Team Structure
It is our goal that each company represented at YLS meetings will have an Ambassador. The ratio of Ambassador to employees should be one Ambassador for every 20 YLS members.

Each Ambassador will be part of a team which will consists of at least one YLS Board Member, any committee members associated with committees the board member chairs and any other Ambassadors that are associated with the same company. These teams will have a recruitment target for the year and will work together to achieve these goals as a collective.

The role of the Board Member is to mentor, provide guidance and support to the Ambassador throughout the year. At the beginning of each term, the Ambassador will meet with his or her Board Member to discuss the current situation of the Ambassador’s company and to set goals for the coming year. Goals will be discussed at each quarterly meeting.

In situations in which there is more than one Ambassador for a company, a lead Ambassador will be assigned as the owner of the relationship.
