The professionalism, ethics, accountability, and genuine care demonstrated across our organization continue to set MSPE and NSPE apart. Our community—grounded in our creed—is something we should all be proud of. This year, the Board achieved several key milestones. We focused on the next set of priorities identified in our strategic plan and established two ad‑hoc committees to advance this work. The first centered on student engagement through college engineering programs, MATHCOUNTS, and local outreach. The second focused on chapter and member development. Both committees are discussed further below. We also expanded the use of our Discretionary Fund, investing in a local STEM initiative and offsetting event costs to help chapters and members participate without added financial burden. I encourage all chapters to take advantage of this resource to strengthen our impact across the state. The work of the two ad‑hoc committees helped sharpen our efforts. A select group of Board members and chapter leaders collaborated to: 1) engage engineering schools and high schools, and 2) share best practices, identify opportunities, and highlight activities that support chapter growth. Their insights will be presented during a panel discussion at the 2026 Annual Conference, and we look forward to sharing the key takeaways from those conversations. Beyond our strategic initiatives, the Board and the Legislative & Governmental Affairs Committee—led by John Condie, PE (Fishbeck)—continued to represent our profession in the legislative arena in coordination with AESLC. We remain committed to promoting Quality‑Based Selection for our communities and to defending against legislation that diminishes the importance of the engineering profession or undermines objective professional engineering judgment.
