Dear SNE SWANA Members:
​
On behalf of the Board of Directors we hope that all members are having a great start to 2025. We wanted to update you all on a few activities that have taken place over the past few months.
​
In January the Board held the Annual Business Meeting along with the elections for a new BOD and officer slate. It was a great time and we are happy to announce the new President is Ron St. Michel. Ron is taking over a new BOD with a slate of talented individuals that will be sure to bring vigor and energy over the next two years.
​
On February 20th, the YP group held an informational event at UMass-Dartmouth in conjunction with the campus chapter of ASCE. This event was centered around the careers available in the industry and informing soon to be graduates of the many opportunities available to them. The event was attended by close to 50 students and was well received. The YP group is looking to replicate this at other colleges so stay tuned.
​
Finally, scholarship season is here! As young students prepare to take the next step, it is always good to have additional funds available. Please take advantage of this opportunity and fill out the applications by the deadlines. Forms will be available soon so please check back. Good luck to all.
​
Finally, it has been a pleasure to serve as your President for the past four years. I will continue to be involved in supporting the new slate of officers.
Thank you.
​
Brian N. Card, P.E.

2025 Golf Tournament
FOUR!!! Our Annual SNE SWANA Golf Event is scheduled for Monday August 11, 2025 at LeBaron Hills Country Club. Come joint us for fun, food, and friends. This is always a great time to re-connect with old and young industry pals as well as meet new ones. Funds raised from this event allow us to continue our Scholarship program where, since at least 2018, we have given out over $6,000 each year to 26 members and their children to support their higher education. Please join us to support this great program.
Safety Matters
Our industry continues to be one of the more dangerous professions. SWANA has a strong commitment to safety with one of our strategic goals to get us off of the federal governments list of 10 most dangerous jobs. With your help and continued focus on training your employees we can all ensure that everyone goes home each day satisfied with a job well done. SWANA offers numerous initiatives as a member for free and continued training.
