Happy Holidays everyone. As we are about to turn the corner on a new year, we can be optimistic that our world will get better. In the new year, the SBE looks forward to resuming more of our normal activities, including (hopefully) more in-person events again. As you make your resolutions for 2022, include SBE certification or taking advantage of the many educational opportunities the SBE offers. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Our guest was Stephen S. Lockwood, P.E., president of Hatfield & Dawson Consulting Engineers. The discussion was led by SBE Social Networking Committee Chair Kirk Harnack, CBRE, CBNE.

Include the SBE Leadership Development Course in Your 2022 Plans
The SBE is planning to hold the SBE Leadership Development Course this summer in Atlanta. While the details are being set, be sure to budget for the class when those details are announced.
The SBE has presented the SBE Leadership Development Course since 1997, but its roots go back to 1965 to 1995. The three-day event challenges you to refine your leadership skills as you better understand and improve how you interact with others. Bring a team and share the experience of this highly interactive event. The SBE Leadership Development Course is equally beneficial for those who are already in management and for those without prior management or supervisory experience.

Watch for Phishing Scams
The SBE offers an sbe.org email forwarding address to members as a member benefit. Popular with many SBE members, it has been noticed that the attempts to lure users into scams have increased. Those with an sbe.org mailing address have likely received messages asking the user to verify the account, threaten to close the mailbox, or some other action. These messages are not from the SBE.
Maintenance of the sbe.org forwarding addresses is minimal. If for any reason the SBE needs to contact a member about the forwarding address, the message will come from someone on the SBE staff. The service provider the SBE uses will not contact you. Any contact will come from the SBE. If in doubt, contact the SBE to verify the authenticity. You can also hover over (don't click) a link to determine where it will go. If it doesn't go to a website or email with sbe.org, it's likely a scammer. Delete the message.
