YEN Introduction

Introduction

The CIBSE Young Engineers Network (YEN) is a network of regional centers that aim to provide a forum & support network for young engineers within CIBSE.

 

CIBSE YEN History in Hong Kong

CIBSE YEN in Hong Kong, (formerly “Young Members Group, YMG”) was established on September 2001 for local young members of CIBSE so as to meet their needs and interests with other professional institutes through their young members organizations.

 

The idea of setting up the CIBSE YMG was brought up in the CIBSE Hong Kong Region Committee Meeting held on 14 May 2001.

 

A Task Force on CIBSE YMG comprising the prospective YMG Committee Members was set up on 17 Sep 2001.

 

On 2009, the YEN was setup in the CIBSE Headquarter. CIBSE HKR-YMG was renamed and continuous to provide a network for our young engineers to further their aspirations and goals. We hope, with the encouragement and support from the wider CIBSE membership, we can more successfully increase the fellowship and unity amongst those who have already chosen to work in our industry and encourage more from outside to investigate the many appealing aspects of building services engineering.

 

Objective

  1. To promote the CIBSE image among young members in Hong Kong with a view to boost our membership
  2. To encourage our young members to retain their CIBSE membership during their career life through enhanced communications with other CIBSE members
  3. To render assistance in identifying the needs of local young members and organizing relevant activities that suit their interests and meet their expectations

 

Collaboration with Others

There are numerous areas of common interests/goals shared between the Sub-committee and other relevant learned societies. We shall consider the following ways of collaboration with relevant bodies:

  1. To invite representatives of other young member committees to join the Sub-committee as co-opted members,
  2. To co-organize activities with other young member committees
