In 2020, the Compressed Gas Association (CGA) initiated a new Young & Emerging Professionals Committee (YEP) to provide opportunities for CGA member employees aged 45 years and under to expand their industry knowledge, build relationships, and develop their professional skills. In addition, individuals who are new to the industry find this committee a way to transition into the work of the technical committees. The YEP Committee is one of several initiatives CGA is taking to solidify the continued availability of experts needed to support our safety mission.
