Be careful what you ask for you just might get it. I attended the Mississippi Engineering Society’s Board of Directors meeting today. In my report from the House of Delegates I suggested that we look at considering the Bachelor’s plus 30 issue currently before the profession at our Winter Meeting. Everyone agreed…And I was put in charge of arranging the discussion. It will be a little work but I think it will be well worth it.

Other business: We are reconstituting the Council of Past Presidents, of which I am a member, and we have a short list of initial tasks. It looks like the past presidents will look at things with a more strategic view and that may take a little longer than you might want a committee to look at. We also are looking into establishing a Council of Fellows to increase the number of NSPE Fellows from Mississippi and mentor members who wish to become fellows at some point in their careers.
