Group Y Is Approaching Our 18th Anniversary!
It's astonishing to reflect on all the past events, remarkable speakers, and valuable connections forged along the way. When we began, the social media landscape looked quite different. Myspace reigned supreme, while Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter (X) were just starting. iPhones had yet to be invented.
Now, as a new generation emerges, we remain steadfast in our commitment to cultivating a stronger and brighter future within our industries. Group Y will continue its mission of keeping you and all of us engaged and prepared for what lies ahead.
In this Issue:
• Upcoming Events - April / May

profile
👋 Hi, I’m Katelyn. I have loved art and design for as long as I can remember, and have always felt most myself when being creative. Growing up in Kansas City, I played pretty much every sport I could, and continued to play basketball and run cross country throughout high school. I love to be outdoors whether I’m running, hiking, or wakeboarding, and since moving to California in 2021, I have fallen in love with surfing. I like to use these parts of myself to inspire my creative work.
