Letter From the President

Welcome to The Western Chapter of MSPE.  We are glad you are visiting our website.  If you are not yet a member, please consider membership.  If you are a licensed engineer or working toward that goal, you will find like-minded engineers supporting this organization.  We are the only professional organization that promotes the ethical and competent practice of engineering, regardless of discipline.  In our view, the best way to accomplished this goal is to become licensed whether or not it is required by law for you field of practice.  Licensure is an outward symbol of your commitment to these principles.

The Western Chapter Board of Directors and Committee Chairs met in late August to plan out the 2011 - 2012 programming year.  Our goals are:
1.    Increase membership by inviting our peers to become actively involved and participate in our activities.
2.    Have pertinent programs that provide the opportunity to earn Professional Development Hours (PDH's).
3.    Provide regular opportunities to network and socialize with our fellow engineers.
4.    Advocate for effective and responsible government that will protect the public and  the engineering profession.
5.    Promote STEM education for our young people increasing those interested in an engineering career.
6.    Promote professional engineering through community service programs.
7.    Enhance the image of the professional engineer.

That may seem like a lot to accomplished in only nine short months, but the Western Chapter and MSPE are fortunate to have a highly qualified and committed leadership that will be working diligently on these goals.  But we need your help, so there are ample opportunities for you to get involved in your area of interest and expertise.

Please feel free to contact me or any of the officers if you have any questions.
