THE DAYTON ENGINEER

THOUGHTS FROM THE BOARD:

The 2016 OSPE Leadership

Retreat was well-supported by the

Dayton Chapter. DSPE Board was

represented by Winn Holcombe,

P.E. Chapter President, Jim

Montgomery, P.E., State Director

to OSPE and EFO Secretary, Joe

Pokorski, P.E., Chapter Treasurer,

Ken Hemmelgarn, P.E., Chapter

Secretary, and Kenneth Stewart,

P.E., Chapter Director.

Joe Pokorski and Kenneth Stewart

are shown supporting the “Why I

am a Member of OSPE”

campaign with their reasons for

membership. Ken says he believes

in volunteerism and has a duty to

belong; Joe says he’s a member

because OSPE and NSPE

represent him and all PEs to the

State and National legislators and

protects our licensure.

Winn Holcombe was gathering

words of wisdom from OSPE

Thanks to Messrs. Mark Evans, P.E., Esq., and Desmond Cullimore, P.E.,

BSEE., from Bricker & Eckler, LLP, for their presentation at our August

Chapter Meeting at the Dayton Engineers Club. The presentation was packed

with the contractual and legal issues of which we all need to be aware.

carried by construction contractors and subcontractors.

OUR THANKS TO BRICKER & ECKLER

Our chapter activities are focused

on youth education and

scholarships and include 2nd

Grade Coloring Contest via

ImagineEngineering, and Middle

School MATHCOUNTS. These

are our Society’s flagship events

to bring to our youth an awareness

of the value of science,

technology, and especially the

engineering profession. It requires

hands-on participation and

financial contributions from our

members, that’s you and me.

Your personal and corporate

financial contributions are

solicited through our Engineers

Foundation of Ohio (EFO) to help

us host these events on a local,

state, and national level (except

for the coloring contest). Please

consider making a personal

contribution and soliciting from

your company, if they have a

community relations department.

Contributions through EFO are

fully tax-deductible. Please

important for the success of these

events is your hands-on
