26 August 2015

Congratulations to our 2015 System Engineering Professional (SEP) Honorees

On August 26, 2015 the INCOSE Chesapeake Chapter hosted the Sixth Annual Systems Engineering Professional Recognition Gala at the Garrett Jacobs Mansion. Approximately one hundred INCOSE members and their guests attended the event at this home of the Engineers Club in Baltimore, Maryland. This included the invited speakers and, for the first time, we had additions of three walk-ins plus a gentleman from Boston who stopped by on his return trip from Washington, DC. A tribute to our posters placed in lobbies and cafeterias!
