If you had a great experience with a KSEA YG event then please pass this email along to all your friends, colleagues, and organizations that may be interested. Word of mouth publicity has always been an incredibly effective recruiting tool for YGTLC. Thanks! ************************************************************************** The Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association (KSEA) presents: The Sixth Annual Young Generation Technical and Leadership Conference (YGTLC) in Washington D.C.

We look forward to seeing you in Washington D.C.! Sincerely, Tom Oh and Benjamin Lee YGTLC 2010 Conference Chair/Co-Chair P.S. Here are answers to a few questions we've received in the past. 1) What's KSEA? The Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association (KSEA) was established in 1971 as a non-profit professional organization and has grown to over 3000 registered members with 67 local Chapters and 14 technical groups across the United States. One of its objectives is to help Korean-American Scientists and Engineers develop their full career potential by providing numerous and invaluable membership benefits, activities, and regional programs such as the YGTLC. To take advantage of this and other opportunities offered by KSEA, sign up for or renew your membership at http://www.ksea.org. 2) "I don't have any research to present, can I still apply?" YES! We understand that some young professionals can't present what they do at work or some undergraduate students may not be involved in research so there are many other avenues of participation, some of which are: * Mentoring * Career and leadership presentation * Personal essay * KSEA student chapter president or local chapter YG representative * Survey paper of emerging research For more information see downloadable Application Form at http://yg.ksea.org/ygtlc2010/apply. 3) "I'm no longer a student. What's the age limit? Can I still apply?" YES! You can still apply and there is no age limit. We expect this year to have over 100 highly-motivated participants in their 30s and 20s. We encourage and welcome ALL professionals and academics as well as graduate, professional, and senior/junior college students that demonstrate interest in issues related to 1.5 and 2nd generation Korean-American scientists and engineers. One of the goals of YGTLC and KSEA is to maintain and grow young generation participation as you transition from school to the workplace. 4) Are there program events specific for young professionals? YES! We would like to emphasize that the diverse program events at YGTLC cater to young professionals and students. Some of last year's program included: * Career workshops such as "Investment Fundamentals," "Dale Carnegie's Developing Personal Leadership," and "Interview Principles and Practice." * Networking fair topics such as "Industry Culture and Career Advancement," "Starting Up a Company," "Considering an MBA," "Considering a Professorship/PostDoc," and "Starting/Leading a KSEA Student Chapter." * Technical sessions such as "Engineering," "Bioengineering," "Cellular and Microbiology," and "Science and Society." Check out our publicity video highlighting the Program events at http://yg.ksea.org/ygtlc2010/media. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You are getting this announcement because you have applied for or participated in a KSEA YG event.
