Next50 Young Professionals


Next50 represents the new and pioneering minds of MSA, a collective that engages with MSA projects, practices and philosophies through the lens of the young professional. A cultural support system as well as a corporate sounding board, Next50 is integral to the success of today and a link to the leadership of tomorrow.

Next50 is led by the Next50 Steering Committee. The committee’s core functions are to introduce ideologies and corporate policies to team members; educate young professionals about MSA culture, business practices and core values; and assist in attracting and retaining new talent within the firm. Each steering committee member serves as a liaison to young professionals across each of MSA’s 17 offices, ensuring full representation and inclusive dialogue across the firm. The steering committee also serves as a guide for the Executive Leadership Team and a link to other MSA committees, departments, and service lines to improve company practices.

Next50 was established in 2015 in reflection of MSA’s 50+ years of service to our client communities and to pose the question, “What will make the next 50 years even better?” To seek unique perspectives and answers, Next50 was born. This sector of young professionals comprises nearly one third MSA’s employee base and remains a thriving and integral component of our firm’s culture and vision.
