QLD YPF 2nd Quarter Networking and Speaker Event – 21 May 2010
The Queensland Young Pipeliners Forum (YPF) hosted a successful networking and speaker event on the 21st of May. This was a great opportunity for its members to get together and meet other people involved in the industry. The event was held at the Ship Inn, Southbank Parklands, where an enjoyable outside balcony and conference room provided a casual environment for drinks, finger food and a presentation by CNC Project Management’s Director Dave Maloney and Manager Environment & Regulatory Compliance Ian Spence.
The night started with a few ales and a relaxed Friday night atmosphere encouraged networking with familiar faces and new participants from diverse areas of the industry. Read more
YPF Mentoring Events
In further good news about the YPF, the Queensland committee demonstrated their ability to lead the way by holding a successful mentoring session late last year. This is exactly why the YPF was formed, but the group first had to become established before any semi-formal mentoring program could begin. We are now able to officially incorporate YPF mentoring events in the APIA schedule of events. These events will take a couple of hours and be held in conjunction with other APIA events, as per the schedule. Anyone interested in participating, please contact your local YPF committee leader.
YPF Age Limit
At the February teleconference of the YPF national committee it was decided that membership of the YPF can now include those over 35! This expansion of the membership allows those “young” ones who have been involved for many years, but who have turned 35, to continue their participation. It also allows the more experienced pipeliners to be involved in YPF activities – but the purpose of the YPF will remain to provide education and opportunities for young people in the industry.
