This January, Parth Rana (President-Elect) and Juan S. Alfonso, PE (1st Past President) of ASCE North Jersey YMG attended ASCE’s Multi-Region Leadership Conference (MRLC) and Eastern Region Younger Member Council (ERYMC) in Charlotte, North Carolina. They had a great time connecting with many familiar faces and making new connections. The round table sessions offered the chance to learn from various YMG Groups and build a platform to share personal experiences.
At this conference, the ASCE North Jersey Branch YMG received two awards and a grant for our work this past year(s):
1. The Peers Group Award: Awarded to an Outstanding Younger Member Group, as judged by all Younger Member Groups in the Eastern Region. We would like to congratulate the co-winners in this category: ASCE Miami-Dade Branch
This would not have been possible without our 2021-2022 Executive Board. Transitioning to virtual events, brainstorming creative ideas, and then fortunately coming to in-person events, our group did it all!
