Tau Alpha Pi Update Volume 5 Number 7

Tau Alpha Pi currently has 89 active chapters in the United States. We have had a strong year so far with over 130 inductees date with additional induction ceremonies scheduled for later in the spring. We also welcome our newest chapter – DeVry University – Orlando – Congratulations & Welcome. We thank everyone involved for their work and dedication in making Tau Alpha Pi active and growing.

The Tau Alpha Pi Job Opportunity web site continues to expand with chapter members joining everyday. The site offers resume building, interviewing and networking techniques as well as numerous engineering job opportunities. Remember, once you have logged on and established a password, you can use it while in school, after graduating or use it if you are thinking of changing jobs.

Tau Alpha Pi Board of Directors

Each year, Tau Alpha Pi elects Zone representatives to serve on the Tau Alpha Board of Directors. Each of the four geographic zones of Tau Alpha Pi has two members. Terms of Board members are for a two year period with the option of serving an additional two year term if desired.

At this time we are soliciting nominations for those whose tenure will expire on December 31, 2010. Nominees do not need to be members of Tau Alpha Pi but should be active within the engineering technology community. Please provide as much information as possible, so that nominees may be contacted and made aware of their status as potential board members. Also, please provide a brief description of why this person was selected. Nominees and Board members do not have to be from the Zones which have chosen them. However, in the case where a person receives nominations from more than on zone, the nominee will be asked to select which zone he or she would like to represent.

If there are any questions about serving on the Board, the nominating process or about Tau Alpha Pi, please contact me at 202-350-5762 or by email at w.sallade@asee.org
