On 17th October 2007, IYPF members will be joining millions of people around the Globe to Stand Up Against Poverty. Local IYPF events will be held where IYPF members and other young professionals will meet and discuss "The Role of Young Professionals in Achieving the Millennium Development Goals". The results of this will be collated before IYPS2008 and will contribute to an IYPF paper on "Young Professionals and the MDG's".
