A MESSAGE FROM:
Amanda Tanaka, MS, EIT

Hello everyone and welcome to the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Southern Nevada Younger Member Forum (LV YMF) website. My name is Amanda Tanaka and I am the president of LV YMF for the 2020-2021 FY. I have been involved with ASCE since my time as a student at UNLV and I am very excited to take on this role within the organization. The role was presented to me very suddenly, however, I am a firm believer that when an opportunity presents itself, we should grab it. ASCE has brought me so many opportunities to further my knowledge of the engineering profession, develop my communication and leadership skills and most importantly it offers me a way to help young civil engineers and give back to the community. I could not be prouder then to be serving the great organization that is ASCE.
My objective as this year’s president is to ensure that in spite of the current challenges, YMF remains an active organization and keeps providing opportunities for professional development, networking and community involvement while being safe and socially distant during this pandemic.
I am happy to be working alongside so many talented engineers that have been putting so much time and effort to make sure our mission continues. I feel very lucky to have such an active board and thank them for their dedication. I am really looking forward to this year and can’t wait to virtually see everyone at our events. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me by sending an e-mail to: LasVegasYMF@gmail.com
Thank you,
