Central to our events throughout the year is our calendar of dinner meetings. We also host an annual seminar, which has become a New England tradition. In both these events, the Chapter has hosted talks and lectures on leading topics of interest to our profession, providing members and friends of the Chapter with a unique opportunity to keep up-to-date with the constant technological developments in our field. These events are also a great opportunity for participants to socialize with fellow members and network with our peers. Our dinner meetings are held the first Monday of each of the Fall, Winter, and early Spring months. Typically, our meetings are conducted at the Factory Mutual Conference Center located on Route 1 in Norwood, Mass. Although, occasionally, we take a field trip.
To attend one of our events please register online. If you have questions about this event or upcoming membership dinners, please contact the program chair at program@sfpe-newengland.org.
The New England Chapter of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers is pleased to invite you to its annual Fire Protection & Life Safety Code Changes for 2010 on Wednesday March 24, 2010. This event has been developed to inform you of some of the latest applications, code requirements, and trends in fire protection system design and performance, including the new 8th Edition of the Massachusetts State Building Code.
If you are involved in fire or safety engineering or design, code enforcement, facilities management, or risk management, this seminar will be of interest and value to you. The proper design, installation, and maintenance of fire protection systems are critical to their performance during a fire emergency.
