Senator, Governor Honor NSPE

U.S. Senator Ted Kaufman of Delaware and Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen have both sent letters to NSPE congratulating the Society on its 75th anniversary.

Kaufman, the only Senator who has worked as an engineer, commended NSPE members for their “immeasurable accomplishments and contributions to the health, safety, and welfare of our nation.” He holds a mechanical engineering degree from Duke University and an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

Bredesen also recognized NSPE as well as the Tennessee Society of Professional Engineers for their important role in promoting the competent and ethical practice of engineering.

NSPE was founded on September 3, 1934. Visit the NSPE Web site to learn more about NSPE’s anniversary and the history of the organization.
