4. ANS-YMG and NAYGN are searching for a new United States National Representative to the International Youth Nuclear Congress (IYNC). The United States Representative to IYNC will serve until the next IYNC meeting in 2014. The US Rep has the responsibility of providing regular reports on national activities, being an ambassador to the US for IYNC and participating in electronic votes and discussions. The US rep is expected to be available to attend the 2014 Board Meeting, which will be held at IYNC2014 in Burgos, Spain. There are no requirements for this position other than a willingness to be involved in IYNC2014, though preference will be given to those who have experience with previous IYNC activities and have financial support to attend IYNC2014 in person. NAYGN/ANS-YMG will not be providing financial support to attend the meeting, so company backing to attend will be an important factor for any applicant. Interested persons should send an NAYGN/ANS-YMG oriented resume to president@na-ygn.org and hauckge@westinghouse.com by Friday, September 14, 2012.
