January Letter from the President
It’s a new year and that means it’s time to move forward! MSPE is moving forward by focusing our efforts on improvements to services for our members. In particular, we are focusing on increasing membership and increasing member engagement.

December Letter from the President
It’s hard to believe that 2017 is coming to an end. This has been a year of change and progress for MSPE.

Believe me, this was not an easy or quick decision, but one that I am sure will benefit the organization in the future. As MSPE has changed over the years, so has the need for physical space. With the decision...
