Spring Fair Trade Panel YPIC and Fair Trade Boston welcomed the community to learn about how businesses local to the Boston area have implemented fair trade procurement practices into how they define their business. YPIC hosted two small local clothing companies and some local proponents of the Boston fair trade network to provide a number of perspectives into how we all benefit from the goals of fair trade.

Holiday Fete
This winter celebration was cosponsored by YPIC and hosted by Boston International. This social featured live jazz and dancing to raise money for local non-profits.

Fall Environmental Forum
YPIC welcomed local experts in the fields of environmental science, and innovation to foster a discussion about the state of world environmental affairs leading into the world meeting in Copenhagen . Our interactive discussion concluded with a detailed assessment of how each of us can actively participate in the movement.

Summer Art Show
YPIC presented an Evening of International Art and Wine, at which the works of domestic and international artists were displayed on canvas in the foyer of the Hult International Business School in Cambridge. The evening was highlighted by presentations by many of the artists with art on display, during which we were able to learn about the many influences which motivated their works.

Why you should buy a ticket to Friday's Consuls Ball...

I asked some of my fellow YPIC board members to tell me why they loved last year's ball, and here's what they said:

"It was a good time. It's usually a pretty nice night to be out in Boston, and it was fun to meet so many interesting people. The highlight of my evening though was the band. I remember all of us at the end of the night talking with them to try to convince them to play on, since we were having such a good time dancing."
-Austin W.

“I’ve never danced with so many diplomats! It was a great event!“
-Nate T.

"I love the opportunity to participate in an event that I otherwise could not have attended! I'm so glad that UNAGB invites young professionals to attend the dessert and dancing portion. Chatting with the diplomats was incredibly interesting. I'm looking forward to this year!"
-Alessandra C.

We hope this is convincing! See you there.
