The board will also be spearheading new initiatives and training programs to encourage and educate the next generation of plumbing engineers.
"Our goal is to focus on education and membership growth by implementing plans to increase participation in ASPE webinars and workshops, because engineers and designers can improve their knowledge through these programs and, as a result, become more informed and valuable professionals in the field of plumbing engineering," said ASPE President Mitch Clemente, CPD. "We will also be implementing a membership growth plan to encourage our Chapter leaders to reach out face-to-face with peers in their region and explain the benefits of ASPE."
