Each year, ENGAGE holds elections for Leadership positions. Elections are decided based on the answers to this application and after brief informational interview calls with interested applicants. A Steering Committee of five Leadership Council members make the final decisions for each of the open positions.

------------------------

ENGAGE is comprised of next generation individuals aged 18-35 who care about Wyoming, whether they’re a life-long resident, new to the state, or living elsewhere throughout the world. The power of the movement is with those making impacts in their communities through the avenues they are passionate about - economic growth and diversification, community revitalization or enhancement, civic engagement, lobbying and policy, or any other means that strengthens quality of life and the longevity of our beloved state.

The ENGAGE leadership team was created to bridge the gap between the voices of the next generation and those taking action in Wyoming today and is comprised of 15 individuals elected into positions with the specific charge to 1) coordinate and host an annual event focused on connecting next generations with each other, information, and resources, 2) share information on available resources and opportunities, 3) facilitate participation on State-level boards and committees to increase ENGAGE-age representation, and 4) collect insights and data from the ENGAGE demographic and share as appropriate to help inform decisions and direction at state and local levels.

The ENGAGE leadership team is not the front lines of direct community action. We do not lobby or participate directly in policy making. Our main focus is to empower the front lines by leveraging resources, information, platforms and connections to the benefit of all. Really, it’s every next generation person out there who has a passion for Wyoming that we advocate for, and seek to try to break down as many barriers as we can to amplify the end results
