What is the Younger Member Forum (YMF)

The Younger Member Forum was created in 1992 as an ASCE Hawaii Section committee to help young ASCE members transition from college to the working world. The YMF sponsors activities that are geared towards the young engineer.

If you are an ASCE member who is 35 years old and younger, you are part of the YMF. If you would like to participate in YMF activites such as social outings, community work and helping young engineers as they start their professional careers, please contact Willie Gacutan at 847-3763, x212.

May YMF meeting

The Next YMF meeting will be held on Thursday, May 3 at 5:30 pm at Blue Tropics near the Convention Center. It is a time to review past YMF events, plan new ones and just have some fun. If you would like to attend, please call Willie Gacutan at 847-3763, x212.
