The LESI Young Members Congress is a task force of LESI created to meet the networking and professional needs of young executives under the age of forty (40) interested in the business of intellectual property, including licensing, sale, valuation and investment.
The Young Members Congress (YMC) convenes at each LESI annual meeting pursuant to an organized agenda that is both integrated with and incremental to the conference. Through a dedicated YMC website as well as ad-hoc working groups, YMC members and their families stay in active contact throughout the year.
Participation in YMC requires membership in good standing with your local LES Member Society.
Mission
The mission of the Young Members Congress of LESI is:
• To increase the number of active members under the age of 40 within LES Member Societies;
• To encourage participation and networking by young members at LESI events through the organization of unique educational and social programs;
• To mentor young executives for participation and leadership at LESI Board, Delegate and Committee levels as well as to make LESI officers aware of the interest, accomplishments and contributions of younger members.
• To encourage family participation through special programs and incentives.
Collectively, the activities of the YMC will assure a strong foundation for the next generation of LESI excellence.
