Congratulations!
The Houston SFPE Chapter has been awarded the BRONZE Chapter Excellence Award. This award recognizes our chapter’s accomplishments in demonstrating excellence in contributing to the needs of the members and the Society.
Thank you to the dedication and hard work of several of our members and past presidents for elevating our chapter to the point of being recognized as excellent. There are a few members that it seems would be appropriate to recognize their activities that contributed to the decision to award Houston the SFPE Chapter Excellence Award:
To promote fire protection engineering as a career path, Will Clay and Rob Hicks spoke to the Director of Engineering Program at Memorial High School and David Fiedler spoke to Fire Protection Engineer students at University of Maryland. Mike Crawley shared his expertise at the NFPA expo – his topic was fire protection in health care. Peter Rollinger offers his experience to the Construction Industry Council. Also, thank you to the Houston SFPE Chapter board members and officers for sharing their time and experience.
The award will be presented on Sunday, November 8th during the SFPE Annual Business meeting from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm as part of the 2015 North America Conference & Expo: Freedom to Design being held November 8 -13 at the Loews Hotel in Philadelphia, PA.
If you plan on attending the North America Conference & Expo and will be in Philadelphia on November 8, please contact me at president@sfpehouston.org. It would be good to have a representative from the Houston chapter to accept the award.
Sincerely,
Amy Flower
