Andrew Yang, founder of VFA, served our organization as its first CEO for several years before leaving the post this past summer to pursue a new chapter.  He is completing work on his second non-fiction book, which is scheduled for publication in spring 2018.  Andrew has also begun to contemplate running for elected office.  Accordingly, he will be stepping down as a member of our Board of Directors.
As the founder of VFA and then as a member of its Board of Directors, Andrew has led our organization from its creation through its infancy to its current status as a thriving non-profit impacting so many around the country.  As Andrew steps down from the VFA Board this December, he leaves a powerful legacy of entrepreneurial leadership, culminating in several hundred young graduates working hard in small businesses and start-ups across the U.S.  We salute his ambition and vision and wish him well as he embarks on his next service odyssey.
