In recognition of the critical importance of early-career engineers and scientists to the future of IAHR, the latest constitution and by-laws (voted at the 2019 General Members Assembly in Panama) include that one YPN member from each Regional Division will be invited to participate in the Council. The YPN representative from each Regional Division will become a full voting member of the Council.
