The Missouri-Kansas Society of Fire Protection Engineers Chapter recently received the BRONZE Award for Chapter Excellence (ACE). This award recognizes the Mo-Kan SFPE chapter for the accomplishments in demonstrating excellence in contributing to the needs of their members and the Society. Receiving this award speaks volumes about our Chapter and could not have been made possible without the continued input and support from our Chapter's members.

The Mo-Kan SFPE Chapter would like to thank you all for your time, talent, expertise, and continued support that you have provided to Mo-Kan SFPE. Through your active participation, you have all made a difference in the Chapter's ability to grow and understand new concepts as they relate to Fire Protection Engineering. Your ideas, input, and enthusiasm were most helpful and have assisted us in making valuable improvements to this Chapter.

Again, thank you again for your continued support, hard work, and dedication to the Mo-Kan Chapter of SFPE. We look forward to your ongoing contributions and our future together!

Mo-Kan SFPE is in the process of sponsoring a question writing session that is intended to serve the SFPE Committee for Professional Qualifications (CPQ), which is responsible for the fire protection PE exam. The session would last about 4 hours, either in the morning or afternoon with lunch provided on either the backend or frontend. Unfortunately,  session is limited to licensed FPE's. The potential dates of the session are either September 25th or October 16th. If you are a Licensed FPE and you are interested, contact Darrell Stein at Darrell.stein@hendersonengineers.com for additional details.

This is a reminder that Mo-Kan SFPE takes a break from our regularly scheduled monthly meetings during the summer months. This break will be during the months of June - August. Mo-Kan SFPE will resume the regularly scheduled monthly meetings on  September 6th, 2018.
