YGL Trademark Paperwork Submitted

I am pleased to report that we submitted the necessary paperwork to the U.S. Patent Office to trademark "Young Government Leaders" name.  With more than five years of using the name, it's critical we take this step to ensure long-term viability.

This also demonstrates Young Government Leaders is an organization with a long-lasting purpose and mission and a recognized brand. With the support of our Chapters, we plan to continue operating and bringing even more professional development, social networking, and community service events to YGL members.  We hope to provide additional scholarships, more awards, and the development of a next generation summit in the coming months.

We appreciate all the efforts of Shaw, Bransford, and Roth staff attorney, Maria Coleman, and Advisory Panel Member, Debra Roth, for their help and guidance through this process!
