Good Morning,
Rochester ASHRAE Chapter 011 Region I,

As we start a new week, I would like to express sincere thank you to each individual for the amount of work put together each day. The week of February 16th – 22nd is deemed National Engineers Week and is a time to recognize the arduous work that you put in every day. We work in a very dynamic challenging industry, where the good news is mostly no news. The last few years have presented our world with new challenges that you all hold the keys to decipher & solve successfully. The next several years will present us with more of the same, and how our community responds are going to have a reflective impact on our planet. It is an excellent time to be an Engineer to serve the planet.

Also, this “National Engineers Week” is acknowledged by our local government as well as community. Please see a combined proclamation received from City of Rochester and Monroe County, officially declaring the week of February 16th as National Engineers Week by both authorities.

On behalf of the Board of Governors, thank you for your countless contributions to our society!!!


Sincerely,
Sameer N. Bhise,
Board of Governors and Grassroots Government Advocacy, Chair.
