LESI has formed a task force to further meet the networking and professional needs of members under the age of forty (40). Goals of this working group include:

• Increasing the number of active members under the age of 40 within LES member societies.
• Encouraging participation and networking by young members at LESI events through organization of unique educational and social programs; and,
• Mentoring young executives for participation and leadership at LESI Board, Delegate and Committee levels as well as to make LESI officers aware of the interest, accomplishments and contributions of younger members.

If you are under the age of 40 and are interested in participating, please contact the Task Force at: youngmembers@lesi.org. A first organizational meeting is planned in conjunction with the LESI Delegates Meeting and LES USA & Canada Annual Meeting in September 2009.
