Thanks Don, now can you please define "young"...

[DMacPherson]

Well, I'm 52, so "young" is anything less than 53...

It is a bit arbitrary with respect to our event. SNAME has an outreach effort focused at what they call YPs (young professionals). I am not sure if they formalized it, but the practice has been that a YP is less than 35.
