Students & Young Professionals Committee

The mission of the Students and Young Professionals Committee (SYPC) is to develop and implement programs to increase the activity and membership of students and young professionals in the Association. We truly believe that this is a very important group because these individuals are the current and future leaders of our industry. The S&YP Committee carries out the mission by:

  • Implementing the Student Design Competition each year.
  • Awarding the Norm Casey Scholarship. The Norm Casey Scholarship Fund was established in memory of Norm Casey. The scholarship is presented in conjunction with the FWEA Student Design Competition.
  • Coordinating YP leadership and events throughout the state.
  • Administering the "Young Professional of the Year" award, recognizing outstanding service to FWEA. If you know of an outstanding FWEA YP, please nominate him or her using this FORM. Nomination forms must be received by Friday, February 24, 2017 at 5:00 PM in order to be considered. Forms shall be submitted to the S&YP Chair.
