Our Chapter has a wealth of talent and many dedicated members who have given much to improve the engineering profession. Now is the time to begin to recognize and reward them for their efforts on a state and national scale. To do so is good for them, the Chapter, and the future of our profession. By sending the positive message that we, as their peers are indebted to their service, we send the message that giving back not only provides dividends, but is necessary for growth and is the right thing to do.
