What is the YMG?

The Colorado Younger Members Group was established in 1999 and its members are civil engineers 35 years of age or younger. The group is a stepping stone for young engineers and recent graduates to develop professionally via social activities and community service. These opportunities assist individuals in building a network of peers who are also in the early stages of their career. The group is very informal so come out and enjoy the fun! The younger members are comprised generally of civil engineers that have finished college and are 35 years old or younger. However, we encourage anyone who is interested in YMF to attend our meetings, professional development courses, and social activities. If you would like to be added to the e-mail list to receive monthly newsletters, please join.

ASCE STUDENT CHAPTER PRACTITIONER ADVISORS

The YMG is currently pushing to create stronger and more lasting ties with the Student Chapters around Colorado. At present every Student Chapter has a Faculty Advisor and most have a Practitioner Advisor. We would like to see every Student Chapter have two Practitioner Advisors; one that is a Younger Member in the early stages of his/her career and the other in the more mature stages of his/her career.

What is a Practitioner Advisor you ask? A Practitioner Advisor is a Section or Branch member who provides an ASCE Student Chapter with guidance and serves as a liaison between the student and the professional members of the Society. Roles and responsibilities include providing guidance and direction to Chapter officers, assist with arranging guest speakers or tours, aid in planning special events (ex. Regional Conferences), participate in Chapter meetings, social events, and/or activities, nurture opportunities for interaction between the Chapter and industry, support fundraising efforts, and mentor the Chapter officers to improve leadership and communication skills. The Practitioner Advisor’s goal is to aid the officers in successfully leading the Student Chapter rather than providing the answers.

The YMG is currently looking for a Younger Member Practitioner Advisor for CSU-Fort Collins. If you are interested, please email Brian Bern at BrianBern@matrixdesigngroup.com.
