The Las Vegas Younger Member Forum was created to allow younger members
of ASCE the opportunity to become familiar with their peers and to
help further their careers. Our membership is not limited to members
of ASCE, however, and we love to have new people come out to our events
and meetings.
Like with many organizations, we've got a set of officers to help ensure that our goals are met and that our members have a good time. Below, you'll see our list of officers and some of their contact information.
