RSVP Today for the Southern New Jersey Professional Societies Awards Banquet on November 19th!

To all,

On November 19th we will hold our 18th Annual “Engineer of the Year” Awards Banquet.  We are taking reservations now for seating.  This has become our premier event in the area for the Southern New Jersey Professional Societies (SNJPS).  This past year we added the South Jersey Chapter of the Human Factors Ergonomics Society to our group and we believe it is a great addition to our family.  We have another cast of great candidates for the awards!  This year the event will be held at Blue Heron Pines Golf Club.  The Keynote address will be given by Fred Piasecki, VP Piasecki Aircraft Corporation on “Rotary Wing History in the Northeast”.  Fred’s father founded Piasecki Helicopter Corporation in the 1940’s, which later became Piasecki Aircraft, then Vertol which was acquired by Boeing.  It should be an interesting look into the development of this important industry in our area.

Please see the attached Flyer [link below] for details and don’t wait to RSVP with one of the Officers listed on the Flyer.

Thanks and we hope to see you there for this great event!
