The structure of the YAF was originally developed from the leadership structure of the COF and is itself a prime example of mentoring in action. The YAF Advisory Committee (YAF AdCom), as of 2003, consists of seven young architects working in association with the COF Executive Committee. The YAF AdCom is specifically charged with carrying out national level YAF programs and serving as liaison with other AIA committees and allied organizations.
