Welcome to the January IP News
I am pleased to present the January 2025 edition of IP News. As we step into the New Year, this issue celebrates our recent accomplishments and sets the tone for the exciting opportunities ahead.
This edition reflects on the blissful Christmas celebrations held globally across our organisation and highlights the significant achievements of the past six months. Guided by the theme “Arise and Shine” and the slogan “Together for a Better World,” we have welcomed 34 new clubs, including in Switzerland, New Zealand, and Lesotho. These efforts bring us closer to our Mission 100 objective of establishing YMI clubs in 100 countries by June 2025.
The successful launch of the International Election process for the International President-Elect (IPE) 2025/26 and the upcoming RDE Summit 2025 in Thiruvananthapuram are also featured. Additionally, this month emphasises the Endowment Fund, a vital resource for securing YMI’s long-term sustainability and impact.
As we move into 2025, I encourage you to continue embracing our mission with energy and purpose. Together, let us “Arise and Shine” for a better world. Contributions for the next issue of IP News are due by 15 January 2025. Click to submit your story >>
