Board Elections
Election season is closed (for now...) YPT Seattle is continually seeking leaders for opening board positions. This is an excellent opportunity to gain leadership experience, connect with other transportation professionals & enthusiasts, and plan fun events. For those new to the area and the organization, this is a great way to get involved and become integrated into the Seattle transportation community!
