Assistance getting custom rule to work

I am trying to create a validation rule that specifies if a certain value is selected in one picklist field it forces the owner to make a picklist selection in another field before any changes can be saves.
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Below is what I worked on but cannot get it to work: 
 
 
AND (
OR (
ISPICKVAL (  Current_SEM__c, "Yes") ) ,
ISPICKVAL (   SEM_TYPE__c, "Local" ),
ISPICKVAL ( SEM_TYPE__c, "Specter" ),
ISPICKVAL ( SEM_TYPE__c, "PYP Company" ),
ISPICKVAL ( SEM_TYPE__c, "Other Agency" ),
ISPICKVAL ( SEM_TYPE__c, "Do It Yourself" ),
ISPICKVAL ( SEM_TYPE__c, "Lead Aggregator" ),
ISPICKVAL ( SEM_TYPE__c, "Industry Specialists" )
)

You were close, just needed to move your first picval out of the OR() statement.

This didn't work for some reason.

What field do you want required when what field is selected?  What types of fields are they?

When they select "Yes" in the Current SEM picklist I want it to require them to select one of the 7 options shown from the "SEM TYPE" picklist.
