The Committee took some time to consider a letter that member Danney Stanley of Houston sent to the Board, about the changing nature of engineers in the industry and the resultant skyrocketing stress in engineers' lives, and the sometimes fatal results. We can use our Web page and our pulsations to provide links to Mental Health organizations as part of an overall engineers and health effort. We can also discuss CPR and emergency issues, and RFR and radiation issues as well. John Poray, Executive Director, presented his report. Regarding the upcoming National Meeting, we need a speaker for the Awards Dinner.
Suggestions are welcome.
There will be some 35th anniversary celebrations, as well. We have our highest membership totals ever. We'll be over 5600 members before the end of the month. Youth membership stands at 42. Dick Cupka broached the subject of doing an advanced Leadership Training course.
