Young Professionals

The CTBUH Young Professionals Committee was created to be an incubator for the next generation of CTBUH leaders. It will connect young members with established leaders within CTBUH to provide great mentorship and collaboration opportunities. Through articles, presentations, panel discussions, and white papers, the committee will bring the ideas, concerns and research of young practitioners and academics to the greater profession. The Committee is composed of emerging professionals in the tall building practice who are actively involved in the CTBUH. View the NYC Chapter's Instagram.
