Dignitaries
YPM invites community members to fill three dignitary roles:
- the Honorary President; and
- The Lieutenant Governor;
- the Elder/Traditional Knowledge Keeper.
Lieutenant Governor
Each year, the board of directors invites a distinguished member of the community (in recent years, often a former member) to act as the Lieutenant Governor (LG). The LG officially opens and prorogues the session, reads the Speech from the Throne, and makes a brief presentation to the membership.
