The event is open to the public and will be simulcast on Ustream.tv and
YPNation.net, featuring YPNation thought leaders Marc Goldwein (New America
Foundation), Nicola Moore (Heritage Foundation), and Ethan Pollack (Economic
Policy Institute). The discussion will feature an interactive Q&A session,
including questions from the live audience, submissions from Ustream.tv
viewers, and pre-selected questions from several regional Young Professional
organizations.
YPNation unites the Young Professional community for the first time, providing
YPs with a powerful platform to share resources and enter the national
conversation on the key issues impacting their future. The panel discussion
will include three recognized Young Professional thought leaders: Goldwein is
Policy Director at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, and a
Policy Analyst with the New America Foundation's Fiscal Policy Program; Moore
is Assistant Director of the Thomas A. Roe Institute for Economic Policy
Studies at the Heritage Foundation; and Pollack is a Fiscal Policy Analyst at
the Economic Policy Institute.
"Marc, Nicola and Ethan bring three distinct viewpoints to the table," said
YPNation President & Publisher Michael Eisenstadt. "They and the rest of our
dynamic team of leaders are committed to establishing common ground, building
consensus, and finding ways for Young Professionals across the country to work
together to solve the very unique challenges and opportunities ahead. YPNation
is leading the national conversation among Young Professionals and the event
will highlight our commitment to fostering a discussion respectful of diverse
opinions."
YPNation will follow up the panel discussion on YPNation.net with an outline
of broadly agreed upon principles for the path ahead, resources for Young
Professionals from the New America Foundation, Heritage Foundation, and
Economic Policy Institute, and a letter for Young Professionals to send their
elected representatives, expressing concern about the nation's current fiscal
path and the YP community's strong interest in sustainable fiscal policy.
