Today at Traffex, Europe's largest dedicated road, traffic, parking and transport event, CIHT has launched its National Young Professionals Network (NYPN).

This new forum will give CIHT’s Young Professionals the opportunity to come together to discuss key issues and initiatives and make a positive contribution to the work of the Institution at a national level.

Steve Rowsell, President, CIHT said:
“Many of CIHT’s Regions and Nations already have well-established young professional groups. These groups address the issues that are really important to young people in the early stages of their career.
The NYPN will help to establish a strong network base for young professionals in the industry, enabling them to share views and ideas, develop their skills and knowledge, and hear from influential people in the industry.”

Ed Downer, Chair of the NYPN said:

"Being part of the CIHT NYPN will be a way of getting to meet a diverse range of people from within the highways and transportation industry.
It will connect the future leaders of tomorrow, and promote technical excellence across the sector. Members of the group will also benefit from networking and sharing ideas with other like-minded young professionals."

The NYPN will shortly be launching its own section on the CIHT website that will provide a hub for all relevant activity and information.
