Melissa Henderson
2023 -2024
YLP Member of the Year
2024 YLP Member of the Year
Excerpted from comments by Brian Newsome, 2023-2024 President, during the award presentation ceremony at the 2024 Annual Convention . . .
Melissa was integral in all three of the YLP’s key objective areas. For charitable works efforts, she coordinated all of the raffle prizes for the group’s annual Golf Classic which helped raise thousands of dollars. She was also intimately involved in designing the YLP curriculum for their professional development roundtable programs. She also embraced the “unofficial” role of communications guru for the 20+ YLP Council members as they worked to onboard new members and communicate the year’s networking, charitable and professional development events. Melissa is a true friend and a phenomenal example of a leader. The path she has blazed is a true testament to just how much YLP helps boost your professional career.
