>> Help PENC Streamline Communications to Members

We understand that you don't have time to read 10 emails from PENC each month...especially if you have to sift through the emails to find topics you're interested in! That's why we're launching an effort to streamline our communications. BUT, we can't do this without your help. In order to guarantee that you only receive emails that are important to you, it is vital that you take action today by taking two steps:

  1. Click on the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the next email you receive from PENC. Then, check the box beside any email category that does not align with your interests. For example, if you do not care about Transportation engineering, check the box next to Transportation.
  2. Make sure that your demographic information is up to date in our system by logging into the Members area and updating your information in the "Edit Demographics" link.

>> 2010 Legislative Review
Public policy advocacy is one of the most important benefits of membership in PENC. The 2010 Legislative Review prepared by PENC's Executive Director and Lobbyist provides a comprehensive overview of all issues that have the potential to affect the profession of engineering in North Carolina.
