IRLA YPG Committee
The Young Professionals Committee is made up of a group of younger professionals with a range of experience, skills and roles from within the legacy sector. Each committee member is involved in promoting the Associations benefits and making members, and non-members, aware of the career enhancing opportunities within the group. Members have gone on to win the Young Professional of the Year Award and/or become an IRLA board director amongst other things.

Working for You
We all lead busy lives but we are lucky to have the YPG Committee, with support from their employers, giving up time to work with the Association in considering all of the benefits and opportunities that we can possibly offer to members, especially those just starting their career or those who are changing career. Below you will see one example of the legacy textbook, but we also offer free professional training - ondemand and live -mentoring, speaking and hosting opportunities, discounts across a range of our products and of course social events.

Young Professional of the Year - now the Future Leaders Award
This award was introduced to recognise a young professional employed in the legacy market who has been:
- Achieving outstanding business outcomes or
- Recognised for outstanding customer/client service or
- A one to watch for future leadership
This award is not just about contribution to the profits or prestige of an employer, but also having an external awareness of the sector from both a personal development and professional attitude in all of their business dealings.
With the creation of the Future Leaders Programme in 2024 a new Award category was created for those in the programme that excelled in their role.
Neither Award is guaranteed annually, but awarded on merit.
