Ronald M. Colas,
PE, SI, FES Fellow
| |
"FES is continuing our ongoing efforts to partner with stakeholders who are currently engaged in addressing many of the challenges facing our state and to let our members know how to contribute their expertise individually and collectively." | |
In my first communication as FES President, I explained that we must represent our members and be a guiding light in our communities. This applies not only to professional support but also to personal support in times of devastation.
This inherent compassion is woven into the fabric of our organization’s purpose. FES and ACEC Florida leadership and members have stepped up to demonstrate these values.
