Division Spotlight
Young Members Group
The Young Members Group works to encourage and enable all young professional members to be actively involved in the efforts and endeavors of the Society at all levels (Professional Divisions, ANS Governance, Local Sections, etc.) as they transition from the role of a student to the role of a professional. It sponsors non-technical workshops and meetings that provide professional development and networking opportunities for young professionals, collaborates with other Divisions and Groups in developing technical and non-technical content for topical and national meetings, encourages its members to participate in the activities of the Groups and Divisions that are closely related to their professional interests as well as in their local sections, introduces young members to the rules and governance structure of the Society, and nominates young professionals for awards and leadership opportunities available to members.

NASA Chief Historian Brian Odom will highlight Marshall Space Flight Center's longstanding role as an agency leader in propulsion, engineering, and spaceflight operations. From Apollo to shuttle to Artemis, Marshall’s legacy of spearheading NASA’s most ambitious missions continues as the lead center for the Space Nuclear Propulsion Office. Marshall’s role in the nuclear realm dates to the 1960s, when agency leaders envisioned nuclear propulsion as the future of space exploration. Since, the center has been making strides to realize this vision and develop the nuclear propulsion systems that will revolutionize space travel.
