Mike Circosta, P.E.

The 2009-2010 year for the Westchester Putnam Chapter of NYSSPE is quickly coming to a close. I am grateful and appreciative to have had many meaningful experiences and the opportunity to meet and work with so many wonderful people. I realized that life becomes more meaningful when one gives graciously and openly for a good cause.

As I reflect back on the past year, I am glad to see that we have successfully accomplished a number of items: the development of a new informative and easy to navigate WEBSITE, a new Sponsorship Program, a successful Golf Outing, a Post-Holiday Party, and MATHCOUNTS. In addition, the Engineers Week Dinner Dance was extremely successful with over 125 people in attendance. We have also improved communications with our Chapter members by sending out frequent emails on upcoming activities and events.

Our PDH program continues to be a valuable asset to our members and other professional engineers and societies. As long as we continue to provide these monthly meetings, our attendance will increase and hopefully bring new members to our Chapter.

With my term as President coming to an end, I would like to thank everyone for the continuous and ever ready support throughout the year. I would like especially to thank and show my appreciation and gratitude to the Board of Directors, Committee Chairs and Event Chairpersons.

I would also like to thank the Companies that sponsored our Board meetings and PDH events: John Meyer Consulting, PC, CMX, Woodard & Curran, The Savin Group and the Town of Harrison for their kind and generous hospitality.

Special thanks to Rob Aiello, Vincent Cannizzaro, Lucy Caggiano and James Caggiano for their help and support during those extra nightly meetings.

My best wishes to the incoming President, Robert Aiello and the New Board of Directors on a very successful and productive upcoming year.

Respectfully
Michael Circosta, P.E.
President
