Message From the President
This is my last letter as President of this fantastic organization. I have been blessed to be able to work with an extraordinary board and committees this past year and we have moved our chapter forward towards being one of the biggest and most vibrant in the Central Plains region (and one of the best in the entire nation). The board is currently made up of a group of people who make this organization hum and have made my term as president extremely easy.
Some of you may have heard that I was given the President’s Award at the National Convention. This was truly an honor to be given such a prestigious award in front of my fellow estimators. I truly feel that I was the figurehead of an organization that has a lot of dedicated and impassioned people who work hard for our chapter. It was all of us working
together, pulling in one direction, which made the award possible; I was merely the one who was privileged to accept it.
My term as President 2012-2013 has gone quickly and a lot has happened:
Please join me in welcoming our new President, Mr. Troy McAndrews as president for the 2013-2014 term. He has a phenomenal board to work with since many are returning members, Mr. Henry Frondorf, Mr. Elmer Pittman, Mr. Chris McCarthy, Mr. Art DeFazio and our newest board member, Mr. Hank Roe as secretary. I will remain on the board as “worthy” past president. The upcoming year promises to be a great one.Until next month, may you always have the right bid.

together, pulling in one direction, which made the award possible; I was merely the one who was privileged to accept it.
My term as President 2012-2013 has gone quickly and a lot has happened:
- We have welcomed 15 new members into our ranks! This is a testament to our chapter during these trying economic times. While other chapters have been struggling, our chapter has continued to expand. This is due to the
dedication of our education committee for having fantastic meeting topics.
- A site visit to the new Mercy West Hospital where we got to see the pre-fabricated mechanical units that we saw being assembled at our site visit last year.
- Our annual bowling extravaganza held at Stone Lanes which was a great time.
- Our annual Holiday party which was extremely well attended and we raised a good deal of money for our scholarship fund by raffling off baskets plus we donated over 140 pounds of food to the Free Store Food Bank! I got to read my Christmas estimating poem too which was received with polite applause.
- Our meeting about the new Ohio River Bridge which had over 60 attendees plus got a good deal of media coverage the entire day on the major news outlets. We were also featured in the ASPE national magazine and on the national ASPE website. This was a great meeting with a boatload of information presented in an interesting way.
- The 2013 ASPE Chapter #38 GOLF OUTING! It was unfortunate that I was unable to attend but a good time was had by all PLUS we raised a huge amount for the scholarship fund.
- National convention where 8 Chapter #38 members attended. We were the best represented chapters at the event. Another testament to the passion our chapter has.
- Our own Dan Frondorf, former Central Plains Governor and Chapter #38 founding member, has been elected to the National second VP role. He is only a step or two away from leading our entire organization. We wish Dan all the best in his new position.
- Our site visit to Hilltop Concrete to see how they take rocks from their quarries and turn it into specific concrete mixes for every job was extremely interesting and informative.
Please join me in welcoming our new President, Mr. Troy McAndrews as president for the 2013-2014 term.
