In fact, historically speaking, the year of 2009 was the best year for YCPA in terms of member recruitment and visibility.

Always acting as a non profit organization, the new executive team of YCPA divided the activity of YCPA in four sections: YCPA professional, YCPA business, YCPA social and cultural, and YCPA international. >>>
