The May 2010 News Brief details activities of the Working Group from May 2009 - May 2010. It has since evolved into young professionals groups on the CEC, CEESP, CEL, SSC, and WCPA, bringing the same vision and goals to the Commission level. Furthermore an active, Union-wide Task Force on Intergenerational Partnership for Sustainability emerged from these young professionals networks in September 2011.
