This months meeting was conducted and attended by the executive committee, President, Secretary-Treasurer, Directors 1, 2, and 3 and the immediate Past President, for the purpose of discussing Chapter business for 2010. Here is a list of key point’s discussion:

· Professional Development Units (PDUs) topics

· Locations for PDU presentations

· Annual Picnic

· 50/50 Raffle Tickets

· Information/Display booth at the Science Center for Engineers’ Week

· Information/Display booth at the Parkway School district Career Fair

· Chapter Charter

We are still trying to hash out PDU topics for our future meetings. We are waiting on some answers from possible presenters yet. When we have things nailed down, we will get them posted on the site as soon as possible. Thanks for you support!

Until then, BE SAFE OUT THERE!

Another year has officially begun for the St. Louis Chapter! We started it out with a bang at the annual Surveyors’ Banquet at Spazio’s. We had another good turnout this year! The Chapter thanks you all for your support. I would also like to thank the duo “Thicker Than Water” (Kristen and Tyler Elder) for putting on a phenomenal performance once again! These two are amazing and you should really look them up and check them out. I would like to congratulate Ed Owen on receiving the 2009 award for being an outstanding member and contributor to our society and to the profession as a whole. Ed may have received the award for 2009, but he really could have received it for the whole decade. I would like to say thanks to Fermin X. Glasper for his run as President of our Chapter for 2009. Fermin sets a high standard that will be tough for anyone to follow. I wish him all the luck as he takes on the state level of our society. Keep them drinking the cool-aid Fermin! I would also like to thank the rest of the board, Jared Minnick, Patrick Bowman, Brian Higgins, Jim Exler, and our newest member Ryan McDowell for staying with us. I feel we have a great group of minds here that can get some things accomplished. I am looking forward to a great 2010 with you guys! The emails have really been bouncing around and we haven’t even gotten to our February board meeting! We’ve got some great ideas for the upcoming meetings. Tentatively, we will be offering PDU’s as early as the March meeting. The last couple of years, we have had excellent turn-out at the meetings and I hope this continues. Keep an eye on our website. Kurt Richeson is still the man behind the scenes on this. He says he is making some changes on here and I think you will like them! Thanks Kurt for your continued support of our chapter! We will continue to have the calendar of events posted on here for all of you to keep track of what’s going on and where. Well, it’s time to end this! I hope to see you all at our March meeting! Until then, BE SAFE OUT THERE!
