Chapter Happenings......

 

Southeast Chapter

The Southeast Chapter executive committee sent out a survey with the 2002 election ballot to solicit input from the membership for planning future chapter activities. Eighteen surveys were returned from a membership of approximately 80 members in the Southeast Chapter. Of the eighteen respondents, ten (56%) were 61 years of age or older, and two (5%) were 40 years of age or younger.

The respondents selected promoting the importance of registration and supporting a collective response to issues and concerns of the engineering profession as the main reasons for maintaining membership in ISPE/NSPE. Networking and social interaction with peers were designated as secondary reasons for membership in ISPE/NSPE.


 

When asked to "indicate the business sector you practice in", fifty percent of the respondents designated consulting and 25 percent were retired.

When asked, "What do you think would improve attendance at chapter meetings", location and better notification were the primary responses with topic and day of week/month being second.

When asked, "The newsletter is helpful/not helpful", 100 percent responded that it was helpful.
