Affairs of State Gala!
We joined Young Professionals in Foreign Policy for its 8th annual Affairs of State Gala at the National Press Club. We snapped Kyla Griffith, Alia Mohammed, Julia Duncan and Nicole Kattah.
Founded in 2004, YPFP began as a small discussion group of friends. Today, its membership spans 70 countries and a network of over 10,000 globally minded young professionals. Here, recently elected YPFP President Jarrel Price and his wife, Lauren.
Guests enjoyed networking with international affairs enthusiasts, open bar, and a lively dance floor led by cover band The Excellent Drivers. Here, YPFP supporters Josh Hampson, Sehra Blackburn and Olena Blaney.
YPFP hosts various programs throughout the year, including leadership modules, distinguished speakers and embassy events. The gala is an annual favorite. Here, CRDF Global’s Veronica Tremblay and Lauren Shipton bookend Kevin Wheeler.
Foster Global Endeavor’s Nick Foster, Easton Dermatology Associates’ Dr. Hyland Cronin, Lusso Group’s Sharon Rosen and United Airlines’ Patrick Rybak.
