The Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) celebrated its 30th anniversary in November 2011. As part of celebrations, YES is on a mission to find alumni and establish a YES alumni network.

The YES alumni network will be a hub for business networking and mentoring opportunities for young YES graduates. It’s also an opportunity to track and profile some YES alumni success stories. There are regional networking events for YES alumni too.

YES wants to hear from Māori who participated in the YES scheme and have gone on to succeed in business, arts, sport or entertainment. Here’s a chance to help YES and kiwi students by raising the profile of the scheme and inspiring more Māori students to participate and develop into early entrepreneurs.

If you are a YES graduate or know of someone who is, register at: www.yesalumni.co.nz Or join in conversations on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/alumni.yes.
