We had a great start to our year with a joint luncheon with ASCE. Congressman Garret Graves for Louisiana’s 6th District spoke about the importance of correctly prioritizing infrastructure improvements in transportation, the continued need for coastal protection restoration projects in the State and the importance of the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act for Louisiana.
Our September luncheon should be equally interesting with Mr. Ben Broussard, Director of Marketing and Membership Development of the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association (LOGA). He will be providing an outlook of this important sector in our local economy.
We are currently accepting nominations for the annual LES Baton Rouge Chapter awards. The board will review nominations and select the winners in October. The winners will represent our Chapter at the LES statewide level. A summary of the qualifications for each award can be found in our website at
http://www.les-state.org/brchapter/Awards.html. Please forward all nominations for the Baton Rouge Chapter to
[email protected] by October 16.
We have an opening for the position of younger member co-chair. If you are interested in becoming more active with the Chapter and would like to serve in this position, please contact me at
[email protected] for more information.
We want to thank again all who participated in our survey that was sent out this summer. Your input has been very valuable as we continue to build a community of professional engineers in our beloved city. As promised, five winners were randomly selected to be recipients of Sullivan’s gift cards. They are Lauren Everett, Don Brocksmith, Ann Trappe, Ivy Harmon and Chris Knotts. Enjoy!
We have more exciting events in the upcoming months that you don’t want to miss – see the list below.
If you know or work with someone who is not a LES member, please consider inviting them to join you at a meeting or other event. We look forward to seeing you around!
