ASM Young Professionals cruise Boston Harbor
ASM new Young Professionals (YP) Group kicked off the summer season in style with a sunset cruise on Boston harbor July 12. Mother Nature failed to deliver the "sunset" part, but the group had a great time networking and getting to know each other during the 90-minute cruise, which took them from the harbor islands to Charlestown Navy Yard, where they caught the USS Constitution firing its cannon to mark the end of the day. This was just the second event for ASM's YP Group, which is open to anyone in their 20s or 30s from any ASM member company. The Group is working now on plans for fall educational and networking events. Contact ASM if you'd like to get involved with this YP Group!
