Community board to move Yankee Youth Leadership award nomination deadline to mid‑January

The committee discussed logistics for the annual Yankee Youth Leadership award, which recognizes young people nominated by community organizations to be celebrated at Yankee Stadium. Members agreed to move the nomination deadline earlier in the cycle to give the board and nominators more time to prepare; "mid January" and specifically "January 15th" were proposed during the discussion.

Committee members noted the program is for young people ages roughly 14 to 21 and that nominees must be submitted by a school or community organization rather than self‑nominated. The board agreed staff would update the website and flyer and undertake outreach to schools, parent coordinators and community groups to solicit nominations.
