Thank you to everyone who joined us at CCYP’s Annual Community Breakfast on November 10th at the Wequassett Resort and Golf Club!
We could not have asked for a more beautiful fall morning overlooking Pleasant Bay. It was joyful to be together, reconnecting and celebrating our Cape community!
The Community Breakfast provided all sectors of the Cape’s professional workforce, business and nonprofit leaders, and regional stakeholders with the chance to engage in a thought-provoking session focused on the themes of regional resilience and leadership.
Many thanks to Wendy Northcross, Executive Director of the JFK Hyannis Museum Foundation, Inc., for being our 2021 Annual Community Breakfast Keynote Speaker. Wendy gave an inspiring and motivating keynote titled “Elevating the Next Generation of Cape Leaders: Strategies for Sustaining the Cape Community & Building Regional Resilience."
And thank you to State Senator Julian Cyr for providing such thoughtful remarks and introducing our Keynote Speaker.
During the Community Breakfast, CCYP shared updates on strategic initiatives, including the upcoming launch of new mentoring, professional advancement, and leadership training programming in January 2022 in collaboration with professional coaches, facilitators, and partnering organizations across the Cape and beyond! (Registration for these new programs will open on 12/1/2021 - details and registration links will be included in upcoming CCYP eblasts.)
We also announced our new CCYP Community Leadership Awards and awarded CCYP's 2021 Volunteer of the Year Award. CCYP's annual awards recognize people who are making a significant positive impact in shaping the Cape’s future. We celebrated an outstanding group of awardees this year - see the sidebar and below for details.
Thank you to the Wequassett Resort and Golf Club, our Event Host Sponsor, for providing a spectacular venue and an outstanding experience for everyone who participated in the Community Breakfast.

CCYP COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP AWARDS |
In recognition of her exemplary and unparalleled community leadership and civic engagement over the course of her career, and with gratitude for the significant and lasting positive impact she has had in shaping the Cape’s future, CCYP presented Wendy Northcross with our inaugural Lifetime Community Leader Award at CCYP’s Annual Community Breakfast. |
“When community leaders that you respect confer such a high honor as this Lifetime Community Leadership Award, it is tremendously special. I am grateful for CCYP’s acknowledgement, and I appreciate their work that increases the resilience of Cape Cod and Cape Codders of all ages.”
- Wendy Northcross
|
Congratulations to Tara Vargas Wallace (Founder & CEO of Amplify POC) and Jeni Wheeler ( Co-Founder and Co-Director of the Family Table Collaborative) , for receiving inaugural CCYP Emerging Community Leader Awards! |
“On this day, we speak about 'Community Resilience.' I would like to just add how important racial and economic equity is to community resilience. If only one part of our community is thriving and others aren’t, there is no community resilience. A humble thank you to CCYP for honoring my work. Thank you for understanding the importance of Amplify’s mission and for supporting racial equity and economic justice.”
- Tara Vargas Wallace

"I am deeply humbled and honored to receive an inaugural Emerging Community Leader award by CCYP. The Family Table Collaborative is utilizing a new take on partnering philanthropy with social entrepreneurship to create sustainable change, becoming a hub that works to end hunger and increase nutritional security on Cape Cod through the creation of a self-sustaining nonprofit. Healthier humans build healthier communities. Through prepared meals and education we can move the needle. Investing in the future of Cape Cod matters. Everyone has a seat at our table and love is always our secret ingredient. Thank you again for this tremendous honor.”
- Jeni Wheeler

2021 CCYP VOLUNTEER
OF THE YEAR AWARD
|
In April 2021, CCYP hosted the 5th Annual Shape Your Cape Summit, focused on the theme of resilience. CCYP's Summit Committee worked tirelessly to design an interactive virtual 2-day Summit that engaged more than 225 participants. The Summit featured high-profile keynote speakers, interactive panel discussions with leaders from across the Cape, networking opportunities, and breakout sessions.
For her tireless dedication and commitment to leading the team that successfully planned and implemented a virtual multi-day Shape Your Cape Summit in 2021, Sarah Nitsch was awarded CCYP’s 2021 Volunteer of the Year Award. In addition to being a CCYP Board Member, 2021 & 2022 Summit Committee Chair, and Member of the Civic and Community Engagement Committee, Sarah is Senior Marketing Manager, Cape Cod, for Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty.

“There are few surprises in life. I was surprised and honored to receive this award from my peers at Cape Cod Young Professionals. I was grateful to have had some of my new Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty team with me to attend this year's Community Breakfast. To me community involvement is second nature, and it's one of the many reasons why I chose to move back to Cape Cod. We are all part of where we live -
get involved, be a part of the conversation and the change you wish to see. I look forward to leading the charge for our in-person Shape Your Cape Summit in 2022!”
- Sarah Nitsch, CCYP Board Member
and Summit Committee Chair
