Programs Committee
Orange County Younger Member Forum motivates and encourages young professional engineers and engineering students to participate in our comprehensive and educational Program events. The overarching goal of Programs is to enhance technical and professional skills in order to develop young engineers of today and tomorrow. Programs events will consist of relevant technical tours, presentations, webinars, and speaker series. We are looking forward to continuing to provide opportunities to young engineers and students of Orange County to share their knowledge and lessons learned from recent engineering projects or to dissert on multidiscipline topics.
