| JACKSONVILLE CHAPTER CHAPTER - Feb 19, 2008 |
In February the chapter welcomed Art Silcox of Vizada as guest speaker for its Technical Information Exchange. Silcox spoke on satellite coverage and nuances of day-to-day and emergency access. The chapter also awarded a $13,000 training package as part of a fund drive for the scholarship fund, courtesy of New Horizons Learning Center in Jacksonville. Also at the meeting, the chapter recognized Carmen Polanco and her chapter-sponsored Future City team from Alfred Dupont Middle School. The team placed eighth in the state and won a special award for innovative energy production concept in the regional Future City competition in creating the city of the year 2290 in the event, which was sponsored by the American Society of Civil Engineers. |
