On June 12, 2008, the Younger Member Forum organized a construction site tour of the new Terminal 5 at John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens. The construction of the $800 million airside and landside improvements for Terminal 5 is the largest infrastructure investment undertaken by JetBlue Airways since the New York City-based airline began flying in February 2000 and has been featured on the Extreme Engineering television series on the Discovery Channel. The unique design of Terminal 5 will utilize the front portion of the historic Eero Saarinen terminal as an entry point.

The Younger Member Forum joined over 5,500 volunteers across the city participating in Hands on New York Day on April 12, 2008. This is an annual event organized by New York Cares that helps revitalize local parks, gardens, playgrounds, and schools. The team of ASCE members traveled to PS 184 in Whitestone, Queens and helped to paint several classrooms and plant shrubs outside the school building. After the event, a celebration party was held for all of the Hands on New York Day volunteers at Stout in Midtown Manhattan.

The Younger Member Forum held its Seventh Annual Executive Forum on February 21, 2008. The year’s discussion focused on “The State of Our Bridges,” a topic that has gained national attention following the collapse of the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis last August. Over 100 young engineers attended the event and had a unique opportunity to meet prominent engineers involved with designing, constructing and maintaining bridges in the New York metropolitan area.

A week after holding a lecture about the foundation construction of the Prudential Center, the Younger Member Forum paid a visit to "The Rock" on January 16, 2007, to attend a NHL game between the New Jersey Devils and their Atlantic Division rivals, the New York Islanders. Located just a few blocks from Newark Penn Station, the Prudential Center is the first major sporting venue built in the New York metroplitan area in the last twenty five years. The arena has a seating capacity of 17,625 for hockey games and 18,500 for basketball games.
