The Junior Board Commemorates a Successful & Robust Year

Posted By: Emily Robinson Member Engagement,

On June 12th, the Junior Board hosted its First Annual Sponsors Gala at Jiddi in Raleigh, NC. During the event, the Junior Board recognized and celebrated our 2024-2025 Partner Firms with food, drinks, and fellowship.

Without our Partner Firms, the Junior Board would not have been able to expand our reach to more Developing Professionals through informative socials, soft skills lunch and learns, and peer to peer mentoring.

During the Gala, we also recognized ACEC/NC’s two Young Professionals of the Year, Tiffany Preddy, PE and Matthew Vaughn, PE. Their outstanding contributions and leadership in the engineering community resulted in this prestigious honor. Looking forward to seeing these two compete at the national level.



With the new Fiscal Year starting, we are incredibly excited to see what the Junior Board has in store for the coming year. As announced at the Gala, the Junior Board is excited to start a scholarship to support a developing professional from a small member firm to participate in the Future Leaders Program. Be on the lookout for more information on this in the Fall.

Thank you again to those who attended the Gala and to our 2024-2025 Partner Firms. If you don’t want to miss out on the fun next year, make sure you sign up as a Partner Firm for the 2025-2026 Year! We are constantly thankful for your investment in our developing professionals and the future of the engineering community.
