Hearing from Our Members

• NAYGN-ENERCON officers teamed up to develop a white paper sharing lessons learned and prescribing best practices for developing millennial talent in the nuclear industry. Their article is certainly worth the read: Emerging Leaders Program: A New Leadership Development Model for a New Age in Nuclear.
• Ninety young professionals flew over to the Rogers Centre to catch the Toronto Blue Jays while networking with members across four NAYGN chapters and the Society of Energy Professionals.
• Vogtle 3 & 4 opened their bay doors to NAYGN’s Past President Natalie Wood to hear how she found her passion to empower young people in the industry.

Last Words

• Hurricane Harvey may have hit the energy sector hard, but James Conca reminded Forbes readers that South Texas Project’s nuclear plant powered through the storm and rain – by design.
• NEI’s new #DiscoverNuclear campaign has a lot to offer. If you haven’t checked their website out, you should.
