Emerging Professionals Committee

Do you, or does someone you know, have less than 8 years of experience working with the MCP?
Do you have a desire to create programs for professionals who are still learning about the environmental consulting field in Massachusetts?

The Emerging Professionals Committee (EPC) is dedicated to providing educational and social programs for professionals who are new to environmental consulting in Massachusetts. Bring your ideas and energy as we work together to shape the future of the LSP industry!

In November 2021, the EPC presented, “To LSP or Not to LSP" Career Path Considerations in Environmental Consulting. A panel of four speakers discussed various career track options in the Environmental Assessment and Remediation Industry, their backgrounds, and how they ended up in their current role. The 90-minute video of this event is available here for your viewing, and also includes an extended Q&A session.

Another recent event was a program on “LSP Exam Prep & Overview" in which three LSPs discussed their experiences preparing for, and taking the LSP exam in 2019 and 2020 (under Covid restrictions). This continues to be a timely event for anyone planning to take the exam soon, as well as for those curious about and perhaps intimidated by the prospect.

The 90-minute video of this event is available here for your viewing, and also includes an extended Q&A session.
