The Pioneer Valley Engineer

What is a POWER ENGINEER?
A Power Engineer is a person proficient in converting energy into power.
For over 120 years NAPE has educated its members, in Chapters across the
country, in the field of Power Engineering. N.A.P.E. is dedicated to the
Education of Power Engineers. Mass Chapter 4 is located in Chicopee Massachusetts, and has over two hundred members that operate and maintain
power plants from Worcester to the New York State line. As an active member
of Chapter 4 your own professionalism increases each time you exchange ideas
with other members at monthly business meetings, seminars, tours or social
events. As a member of Chapter 4 we are taught that through association
there is success. |

President's
Message
Well it's official, we are now a licensed
Proprietary
School
in
Massachusetts
! What seems like forever
has finally come to fruition. This
Chapter has always focused it efforts on education, and now we can expand our
educational program to include schooling for the higher engineer’s licenses.
At the current time, we are working on setting a date for our 1st/2nd license preparation
class.

The educational department has also been working
on the Fall class schedule. In
the flyer, you will find information on Fall continuing education as well as
the 2nd Fireman’s
class schedule. Spread the word
and sign up by calling the office at 592-NAPE.
At last month’s business meeting there was much
discussion about the Chapter’s financial situation.
A few situations have changed how much income we generate.
Some of them are:
1.
Non-member enrollment in our educational program has gone down.
2.
Due to employer taught continuing education, our overall enrollment
has decreased.
In order to change our financial situation, the
finance committee has met and offered some suggestions.
For example, we are going to limit our continuing education to 30
hours each semester. Additionally,
we believe we will need to modify the Chapter’s bylaws and consolidate
some of our investment funds. These
proposals, we believe, will set the Chapter in the correct direction for
years to come.
Therefore, our next Chapter meeting is very
important, and because of a scheduling issue, will be held on Thursday,
July 2, 2009. It will be
held in the classroom at 5:00 p.m. In
addition to this business, we will vote and install officers for the coming
year. If you are interested in
running for office, please come to the meeting.
Regards, Anthony
