Message from the Chapter Chair

Dear Members of the Windsor-Essex Chapter,

It has been a pleasure for the past year and a half to serve as the Chair for one of the most dynamic and engaged chapters in the region. It is a privilege to represent you, and I am committed to ensuring fairness, inclusivity, and consistency while representing your voices to the regional council.

Over the years, our chapter has grown stronger through engaging discussions, insightful events, and the remarkable contributions of our members and volunteers. The diversity of our activities continues to reflect the evolving needs and interests of our engineering community.

This newsletter is a celebration of our collective achievements, made possible by the tireless efforts of our volunteers and contributions of our dedicated board whom I am deeply grateful for.

As we continue to face different challenges, including changes to the licensure process, I remain confident that our shared passion for engineering will guide us forward. Together, we can promote continuous learning, inspire future engineers, and uphold the values of integrity and innovation that define our profession.

I welcome your thoughts, ideas, and feedback. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at [email protected] . Your input is invaluable as we work together to shape the future of engineering in our community.

Thank you for your continued commitment to the PEO Windsor-Essex Chapter. Your participation is key to driving innovation and achieving excellence in our profession.
