ABOUT
The Young Members Forum (YMF) is a committee designed to serve young structural engineers in a unique way. YMF provides lively activities for structural engineers to connect with and learn from others in the industry in a more approachable setting, with the goal of promoting participation in the larger SEAONC community.
YMF holds monthly happy hours called "Powerpints", educational presentations, and more! Each quarter YMF also hosts a large social event, such as the annual Oktoberfest event, a fun night celebrating young engineers and prominent industry partners. YMF co-hosts an annual webinar, Engineering Across the Pacific Ocean, with our New Zealand counterpart, Structural Engineering Society New Zealand, Emerging Structural Engineers (SESOC ESE), in order for our members to learn from and share project examples of seismic related projects with young engineers on the other side of the Pacific. The committee also hosts events with local universities, serving as a liaison between students and the broader SEAONC community.
