Call for nominations AND VOLUNTEERS: LOCAL SECTION BOARD MEMBERS AND OFFICERS

by Puget Sound AIChE Section Secretary, George Jarvi

Friends, a viable professional society always needs fresh ideas and the participation of its members.  We are in need of one or two new board members every year.  Nominations are currently open for the position of Treasurer.  There are assignments that do not require election, as well.

Puget Sound Section – American Institute of Chemical Engineers -- Board of Directors - three year rotating assignments:

One new Director to be elected each year in May.

Please contact George Jarvi (gjarvi@Anvilcorp.com) to nominate yourself, or another worthy section member to one of these open positions.  Of particular interest are those who have previously served in Section leadership in the past, whether here or in any other local section.  We are looking for representation from Tacoma to Bellingham, so location need not be a constraint.  Board Meetings will be twice a year or as needed, and will be located north and south to share the pain of travel across our many miles.  Board members will be able to participate electronically.

Newsletter Awards 

Thanks to many years of dedicated service by Chris Haussmann, the Local Section newsletter was awarded the distinction of Best Local Section Newsletter (1998) for AIChE sections of our size.

More recently, AIChE National  awarded the Puget Sound Section the 2001 Marx Isaacs Award for it’s outstanding newsletter.  This latest award is due to the fine efforts of our final newsletter editors, Shawn Wilson and Jim Nowak.
