The Greater
Baltimore Chapter of ASCET
Monthly Meeting Announcement
for:
Tuesday, April 19th, 2016
IMPORTANT NOTE: We have developed our first chapter website.
This will now be our main “hub” for majority of our correspondence as well as processing
all payments. The website has the capability for members to sign up and pay for
yearly membership as well as the May Dinner Meeting. Please check out our new
site and let us know what you think!
Thank you all for attending last
month’s meeting with Brandon Telford from Reliable. Please join us and welcome Dr. Jason
Sutula from JENSEN HUGHES who is this month’s meeting sponsor and also
presenting the topic of Inspections, Testing, and Maintenance.
Dr. Sutula graduated from the University of Maryland in 1997
with a Bachelor of Science degree in Fire Protection Engineering. In 1998, he
received his Master of Science degree in Fire Protection Engineering again from
the University of Maryland. In 2009, Dr. Sutula completed a Doctor of
Philosophy degree from the Graduate School of Engineering and Electronics at
the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. Over the past seventeen years,
Dr. Sutula has applied his knowledge and experience in fire science, fire
protection engineering, and fire and explosion investigations to solve problems
for government agencies, major corporate clients, and law firms. Dr. Sutula
will be exposing us to a common ground that he has seen across many of his fire
investigations; the lack of inspections, testing, and maintenance.
Meetings
are held at:
5:00 - 5:30 Social Time
5:30 - 6:00 Buffet served and local chapter business
6:00 - 7:00 Presentation by Dr. Jason Sutula JENSEN HUGHES.
Members
are encouraged to show up earlier if they wish; please gather in the bar area
for the social time. This will allow us to prepare the reserved room for
the presenter and the buffet. It is not our chapter’s intention to have
the sponsors pick up the bar tabs, so please purchase those on you own.
