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.

This panel will examine the status and plans for the comprehensive U.S. government interagency program to address the impacts of uranium contamination in the southwest. The current Ten-Year Plan (2020-2029) builds on the work of the two previous Five-Year Plans (2008-2012 and 2014-2018), including the Tronox Addendum to the 2014-2018 Five-Year Plan. While the past decade represents a significant start in addressing the legacy of uranium mining and milling on the Navajo Nation and other indigenous nations, much more work remains to be done. The project has often experienced difficult technical issues and socio-economic consequences. The panelists, including from federal agencies, will provide updates on, and lessons learned from, remediation activities at former uranium mine and mill sites throughout the west.
