Time: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

LeapFrog makes nature-based solutions for onsite water treatment and reuse. On the outside, a modern planter box or greenwall filled with native and ornamental plants adds beauty to the landscape. On the inside, plant roots and microbes clean greywater for reuse in toilet flushing and irrigation. LeapFrog Design works with nature's own systems to solve wicked problems.

May 1-3 Corvallis, OR PEO Annual Conference  https://oregonengineers.org/annual-conference/

I highly recommend you get signed up for this one. This should be a great event. Lots of great speakers. The Central Oregon Chapter is pushing for 20 local members to join us on this one. Tom Headley, Charlie Rowles and myself will by beers at the Preconference Gathering at McMenamins if the Central Oregon Chapter meets this mark.

Other Topics under consideration: (Let your chapter president know your ideas!)

Call for Leadership:

Please let me know if anyone is interested in joining our leadership team. We need all levels of board positions. We also will need help with the Job Shadow, Mathcounts, State Conference Planning Committee and the High School Engineering scholarship committee.

Job Shadow is specifically looking for someone to take the lead on this program. David Boyd is stepping down from the job shadow lead after 20 years+/-. This leader, would reach out to the engineering community for confirmation of involvement, and coordinate with local high school career counselors. This is a micro- engagement and I would expect it to take about 20-30 hours per year. The Central Oregon Board is willing to delegate the responsibilities but we really need someone to take the lead of this program.
