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.

With the implementation of Hydrogen Production at hand here in the U.S. and the potential benefits to be derived in light of today’s environment, this session will provide a multi-faceted perspective of hydrogen production for potential implementation across the operating fleet. This panel will be prepared to discuss the opportunities & challenges facing sites considering such efforts as well as the status of current efforts on going here in the US, the lessons being learned in the process, and expectations for the near future. Planned perspectives include a diverse panel from near-term operating plant implementation, industry research, government research & support organizations. A brief update by each panel member will precede the panel discussion with the hope and expectation of driving informative dialogue.
