The MSPE Educational Foundation is forming its new Board of Directors. Effective on July 1, the new Board of Directors will feature eleven stakeholders charged to support the EF mission and objectives.

Several seats on the new EF Board of Directors are appointed by committees directly involved in the EF mission or interests. However, several seats are open and solicited by the Nominating & Tellers Committee. 

Nominating & Tellers Committee, chaired by Michael Purol, P.E., is seeking members interested in the following Board seats:

• Two at-large MSPE members interested in furthering MSPE EF objectives.
• A former president of MSPE.
• Two representatives from University faculty.

The Nominating & Tellers Committee is now accepting applications for candidates. Deadline for submission is April 30.
