NA-YGN Announcements:
1. We have many reasons to celebrate! Over the past few months, Combined Operating Licenses have been approved for the construction and operation of new nuclear units at the V.C. Summer and A.W. Vogtle sites. I encourage all our members to read the recent blog posts at www.cleanenergyinsight.org<http://www.cleanenergyinsight.org>, including a story from one of our members working for SCANA. NA-YGN finalized an election approving a new vision statement and welcoming four new Core members. In August, Christine Csizmadia, Bobby Ashworth, Jan Garcia, and Natalie Sachar will be taking over for our departing core members, Liz McAndrew-Benavides, Erin West, Adam Strange, and Chris Waugh. Thank you to all of these NA-YGN members for their accomplishments, devotion, and willingness to serve in leadership roles. Finally, I want to thank all of our members for a successful 2011. End of year metrics for 2011 are now available. NA-YGN members contributed 58,519 hours to professional development and networking and 29,797 hours in public information and community service. Overall, this equates to 88,315 hours of time spent in 2011 by NA-YGN members on the promotion of nuclear science and technology and the young professionals working in its varied fields! That is a solid increase of nearly 5% from 2010 .
