ASPE - Boston Chapter

Spring is here


 

May, 2013

If you haven't been outside in the last couple of weeks, you may have missed it, but spring is fully upon us. The birds are chirping, the flowers are in bloom, the Sox are playing, the lawnmowers are mowing, the allergies are acting up... I think you get the picture. Spring means somehting else to the ASPE Boston Chapter this year as well. That is because the bi-annual chapter elections are upon us, and will be held at our next chapter meeting on Tuesday May, 19th. 

Please click here for a copy of the ballot, and either mail it in by May 13th if you cannot attend, or hand it in at the chapter meeting on Tuesday. We would like to thank the outgoing Board of Directors for the excellent job they have done over the last couple years, and we would like to wish the incoming Board all the luck in continuing that trend moving forward. You will notice some new names on the ballots, and you will see some familiar ones as well. We encourage any chapter member who is looking to take an active role in the guidance and growth of our chapter to contact any of these individuals at the next chapter meeting and see how you can help. Particularly some of the new board members as these positions are not "one man" shows, but are group efforts supporting the board members. We also encourage anyone to submit their own name in the future as a potential board member, as we need input from the entire membership, not just those sitting on the board currently.

This year we are celebrating our 40th anniversary as a Chapter of the American Society of Plumbing Engineers.  Please consider joining us during the course of the year at one of our many events to celebrate this milestone.
