Why MSPE?  

First and foremost, MSPE and NSPE works to protect your PE license – we do this at the local, state, and national level.

·         MSPE is one of the few engineering organizations that have lobbyists actively engaged in both Jefferson City and Washington DC.

·         MSPE’s lobbying arm represents PE’s in the Missouri Capitol and keeps members abreast of legislative activity during the legislative session.

·         MSPE works to ensure licensed professional engineers are involved in state policy making.

·         The NSPE Action Center makes engaging with legislators simple and convenient.

MSPE provides a community and network of professionals. 

This community helps develop relationships, lead to career opportunities, provides technical support, and offers insight.

·         Membership provides the option to join practice divisions to collaborate with members in similar areas of employment.

·         Young professionals meet frequently to network and share ideas of how to build their career.

MSPE focuses on service to others. 

MSPE, the MSPE Educational Foundation, and NSPE promote the profession and serve by organizing and/or volunteering across the State. Some examples include:
