ABOUT THE FOUNDER & BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Barbara Jordan founded the YETP in 2004.  Mrs. Jordan formed the YETP to provide individuals with the tools needed to generate jobs and build wealth through entrepreneurship, because a significant portion of people opted to pursue career goals elsewhere because of the rising costs to live in New York.  She holds a MBA from Dowling College and a BS from York College.
