March 4th Webinar

3/2/2021

 
Join us for our next virtual MOKAN chapter luncheon, this Thursday March 4th at noon!  It is $5 for chapter members and $10 for non-members to sign up under our Calendar tab here: http://www.mokansfpe.org/calendar.html 

Victoria Hutchison, Research Project Manager at NFPA's Fire Protection Research Foundation  & Bart van Leeuwen Owner of Netage B.V. will be presenting on a case study that demonstrates how graphic -modeling and other cutting-edge techniques are being leveraged to collect and consolidate ITM data that can then be utilized for the needs of various stakeholder groups.   This presentation will demonstrate a proof-of-concept comprehensive, scalable, and extensible ITM data exchange model that can facilitate data sharing from diverse data sources to support reliability analyses and predictive analytics.
Why is this important? The void of this data collection has restricted the ability to determine sound performance-based inspection frequencies and prevents stakeholders from exchanging and analyzing data that can influence safety and efficiencies. 

APPLICATION INFORMATION FOR LOCAL SCHOLARSHIP

8/11/2017

 
Don't forget to apply for out local scholarship offering. We typically only see a few applications and the scholarship awards have historically ranged between $1000 to $1500. Last year, our chapter gave the most scholarships (4) and the most award money ($6,000) than we were able to in a decade. All it takes is a cover letter and resume to apply. See the following link for more information: http://www.mokansfpe.org/students.html
