2020 LV | YMF Corporate Sponsorship

Author: Micheline Ghanem

YMF has created a new a la carte style for Corporate Sponsorship. No longer will there be a bronze, silver, and gold level but rather the sponsor is able to choose which events (and what part of the event) they want to sponsor and how much. All sponsors will receive benefits including job postings on the YMF website and logos being present at the function(s) they are sponsoring. We would like to thank Ludian, Hofsommer Excavating Inc., Atkins, Geotek, Inc., Brown and Caldwell, Hayward Flow Control, GCW, GES, and Westwood for sponsoring our 
monthly luncheons. We’d like to thank Carollo and Ninyo and Moore for sponsoring our upcoming Professional Development Panel Webinar.

​We’d also like to thank Aerotech Mapping for a general sponsorship. For the 2019-2020 year, YMF has been able to receive over $7,000 dollars in commitments for sponsorship money. All of our sponsors’ contributions help YMF to host educational as well as networking events such as the professional development panel, luncheons with various guest speakers, and webinars. Please take a look at our corporate sponsorship packet and see ways that you can contribute to YMF.

On July 16, 2020, YMF hosted its first virtual Professional Development Panel. The panel consisted of Harshal Desai from Atkins, Heidi Dexheimer from the City of Henderson, and Anita Marquez from the City of Las Vegas with a huge turnout of almost 50 attendees. The topic was Negotiation Skills. The panelists answered questions relating to when is a reasonable time to ask for a raise to controversial topics such as their thoughts on/experiences with the difference in pay between men and women.

​Anita Marquez gave a powerful anecdote correlating how raises were affected during the 2007 economic downturn to now. She touched on how she earned her P.E., but she was working during a time when raises were not as easy to hand out similar to now. She explained the importance of understanding where a company is coming from in regards to whether or not you receive a raise and how sometimes it may not have to do with your value in their eyes but rather the current predicament they are in. The panelists had a lot of fun with the discussions and gave informative answers all around. We look forward to future events and hope everyone is staying safe!!

The UNLV ASCE Professional Panel was held on March 4th, 2020. The event consisted of young professional engineers around the valley reflecting on their experience as students at UNLV, how they were able to balance work and student priorities, as well as accomplishing class grades and their internships at work. The professional panel was consisted on four young engineers who have been part of the UNLV student chapter during their college years and have always wanted to give back to the chapter itself. Each young professional has about eight years of experience in different sectors of engineering ranging from land development, water/wastewater, and transportation.
​
This event allowed students to get a sense of how a day to day operation works once you graduated and network around with different co-workers, clients, and people. This event also provided a great opportunity for students to interact with YMF members as the students asked many great questions about there career goals. Overall, informative, friendly, and effective discussions were carried out between the students and professional on career driven goals and accomplishments.
