2016 NSPE CANDIDATE SCREENING COMMITTEE

REPORT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS/HOUSE OF DELEGATES (Screening for the Position of NSPE 2016‐17 Vice President)

The NSPE Candidate Screening Committee (CSC) has reviewed nominations for the position of NSPE 2016‐17 Vice President (to serve as NSPE President in 2018‐2019).

There are two nominations for the position of Vice President. The nominees are:

1. Michael E. Aitken, P.E., LEED AP (nominated by NSPE Colorado).2. David P. Martini, P.E., F.NSPE (nominated by the Minnesota Society of Professional Engineers).

After determining that both candidates were duly nominated in accordance with procedures set forth in Bylaw 16 and OP 7.1, the CSC carefully reviewed their nomination letters, resumes, history of service to NSPE, state, and chapter societies as well as all letters of recommendation. The Committee agreed that each candidate successfully met the quantitative criteria as established in OP 12.9.

The CSC also reviewed responses to a set of carefully crafted questions submitted to the two candidates. CSC members expressed no questions or concerns relative to the completed questionnaires and were in agreement that the two Vice President candidates had adequately satisfied this part of the screening process. Their answers to the questionnaire are made a part of this report.

The CSC next conducted individual, separate telephone interviews with both Mr. Aitken and Mr. Martini on March 31, 2016. The candidates for Vice President each responded to a series of questions posed on topics that included:

How to further advance the need for PE supervision within government agencies;

How to promote advocacy within the engineering profession;

How to advance, and seek benefit from, engagement and partnership with other professional andtechnical engineering societies;

How to ensure that NSPE remains relevant to current and future professional engineers;

What strengths and vision the candidate brings to NSPE and how he would work to improve NSPE’sability to highlight the role of the PE, among others topics.

As a final step, the CSC once again reviewed the criteria and recommended basic qualifications as set forth in OP 12.9 and concluded that, based upon their nomination packets and resumes, their responses to the CSC questionnaire and their performance during the personal interviews, each candidate satisfied these standards and each is deemed qualified to serve in the position of NSPE 2016‐2017 Vice President advancing to the role of President in 2018‐19. By policy, the CSC does not rank any candidate but only determines the qualifications to serve in the office to which nominated.

Attachment 4.2

NSPE 2016 Candidate Screening Committee Report to the HoD/BoD – pg. 2 of 2

The two Vice President candidates received a document clearly setting forth the time and financial commitments associated with progression through the NSPE officer chain, i.e., vice president, president‐elect, president, and immediate past president.

The CSC recommends that the names of the two candidates along with an appropriate information packet be submitted to the NSPE House of Delegates as outlined in OP 12.9. The CSC recommends that this report and the following eight (8) documents (attached) be considered the appropriate information packet for submission to the House of Delegates:

Written responses to CSC questionnaire submitted by Michael E. Aitken, P.E., LEED AP Written responses to CSC questionnaire submitted by David P. Martini, P.E., F.NSPE Nomination Packet for Michael Aitken, P.E., LEED AP Nomination Packet for David Martini, P.E., F.NSPE Bylaw 16 – Nominations and Elections OP 7.1 – Nominations and Elections OP 12.8 – Candidate Screening Committee OP 12.9 ‐ NSPE Candidate Screening Procedures

It will be the prerogative of each candidate to provide the House of Delegates with any other information they deem appropriate. The CSC encourages each member of the HoD to review the material provided in advance of the June 25 HoD Assembly in Dallas, Texas, to fully inform themselves of the qualifications and views of both candidates.

I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the members of Candidate Screening Committee for their leadership and support of this most important process.

NSPE Vice President Candidate Questions for Written Response

Return to Nancy Oswald at [email protected] by March 1, 2016

1. How have you as an individual, and within specific teams (e.g., committees, task forces, etc.), worked to advance participation of engineers within NSPE and within your local and State professional engineering societies?

Response

As Vice President of NSPE-CO, I was a key member of the Strategic Planning Committee. We were tasked to create a strategic plan for the operation and growth of NSPE-CO. The Strategic Planning committee was made up of the NSPE-CO state leaders at the time. We developed a clear and concise Mission Statement, Vision and a set a task to continue the organization forward. We developed a Strategic Plan that we believed was a living document that needed to be reviewed and updated to keep up with the demands of NSPE-CO.

I have been involved with FIRST Robotics and FIRST Lego League for many years. The mission of FIRST (For Inspiration & Recognition of Science & Technology) is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders, by engaging them in exciting Mentor-based programs that build science, engineering, and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership.1 Through my involvement with NSPE, I brought a First Robotics team from a local high school to show their research and robot at our Eweek conference. I have encouraged NSPE members to become mentors to First robotic teams to continue sparking the interest of high school students to become engineers.

Most recently I have been working with The University of Colorado Boulder Center for STEM Learning to build a relationship between NSPE and STEM. Teresa Bell McLain, co-director of XSci inside the Center for STEM Learning at the University of Colorado Boulder stated “We work with teachers and students providing experiential STEM programs and research. Our research focuses on the success of student and teacher continued involvement in STEM through STEM experiences, if K12 students can’t find STEM personally relevant they will not retain much of what they learn in those areas nor will they seek out these types of career paths.”2 The University of Colorado Boulder Center for STEM Learning is looking for local and national experts and professionals to strategically partner and assist in mentoring students and educators in K-20 education.

1 http://www.firstinspires.org/about/vision-and-mission 2 Teresa Bell McLain, Co-Director, XSci

Michael E. Aitken, P.E. - Responses to CSC Questionnaire - pg. 1 of 4

I have been the NSPE representative for the QBS-Colorado committee from 2013 - present. We have been getting NSPE members to be advocates for qualification based selection in the Colorado market. By educating local and state procurement officers in the Brooks Act and Mini-Brooks Act, we have been able to improve the quality of the procurement process in Colorado allowing engineered projects to have the best team of professional engineers to design important projects.

2. What are your top priorities as NSPE President and how do you plan to make them come to fruition?

Response My top priority as NSPE President is to increase our member involvement in the society on a local, state or national level. NSPE is a volunteer driven base organization with likeminded professionals concerned about their profession and license. The strength of our organization is in our members. The local and state chapters continue to operate with the same group of volunteers. To continue our Race for Relevance, we need to recruit more members to step into a leadership role. NSPE has a great number of current leaders which have the ability to identify these new leaders and to help guide them into a leadership role. I will work with our state chapters to identify their potential leaders and help mentor them to become strong leaders.

3. Please describe your vision of how NSPE’s relevance for the professional engineer will evolve over the next three years.

Response NSPE needs to build its relevance to the Professional Engineer and become important to the Professional Engineer. In a recent survey of 1500 NSPE members, it was determined that 34% felt the value of membership is less than the cost of membership while only 24% felt that the value is greater than the cost of membership. We need to reach out to our members and let them know what NSPE is doing for them. The Professional Engineer needs know that they are investing in their future, in their professional license and in the engineering profession. In the next three years, I want to make sure our members know what we are doing for them. We need to get our members more involved in NSPE. I want to have a 10% shift in the value to cost number and have 34% of our members feel they are getting more value out of their membership. As our members start seeing the value in membership, they will start inviting new members to join.

4. NSPE has increased its role in assisting states in legislative issues. To what extent, and in which areas/topics, should NSPE allocate resources in advocacy?

Response I have always put my time and effort into the educational system in cultivating new engineers. K-12 students need mentors in their lives to let them know that engineering is cool and an honorable profession to pursue. However, if the school system is limited by resources to help


these students meet their full potential, many promising future professional engineers will follow alternate carrier paths. NSPE should advocate building more programs such as STEM, FIRST, MathCounts, and Bridge Building. Students need to have programs available to them and mentors to lead them towards engineering to build their love for engineering. Once the engineering student has committed to an engineering education, the mentoring and guidance needs to continue throughout their studies and all the way through licensure. NSPE needs to educate students on the importance of licensure and help them to break the 20% licensure myth.

5. How do you, as an elected NSPE leader, plan to engage the NSPE House of Delegates and Board of Directors in such a manner that these deliberative bodies may be more responsive to the needs and values of the engineering profession and interests of our members?

Response As elected NSPE leaders, the House of Delegates (HoD) and Board of Directors (BoD) have been entrusted by our members to perform their duties in a manner to advocate for our best interest. These two bodies need to work together with one common goal in mind, our members. In an effort to increase the communication of the two groups, dialogue channels need to be improved. In my position as NSPE-CO President and Southwest Region Director, little communication has been accomplished between the HoD and BoD. As a Region Director, I have monthly calls with the state leaders in my region. I have been attending each State’s annual meeting. Through these two lines of communications, I have been able to talk with the HoD members from my region states. I am not aware of many meetings or conversations between the HoD and BoD. Both the HoD and BoD need to work together toward the goals and commitments outlined in the Strategic Plan approved by the House of Delegates in July 2014. As an elected NSPE leader I will work on opening these channels of communication to allow the HoD and BoD to work together for the benefit of our society.

6. A regulatory agency recently recommended removal of licensure for professional engineers within that state. NSPE became actively engaged and the ‘de-licensure’ was discontinued. Where do you envision licensure and NSPE’s engagement in licensure, to go in the future?

Response

My top priority as NSPE President is to protect the Professional Engineers license through education and involvement. As an organization we need to continue the hard work of our current and past leaders in educating our government officials in the importance of engineering licensure. Our government officials need to know that Professional Engineers take our charge to protect the public health, safety, and welfare as our most important responsibility. A century ago, anyone could work as an engineer without proof of competency. In order to protect the


public health, safety, and welfare, the first engineering licensure law was enacted in 1907 in Wyoming.3 We cannot allow states to go backwards and disregard the importance of licensure.

7. NSPE shares common goals with other national societies. What opportunities and methods do you plan to apply to increase coordination and collaboration with these other groups in order to further NSPE goals?

Response

In my visits to state annual meetings, I have noticed several industries underrepresented. In discussing the membership makeup by industry and the turnouts to the annual meetings, it was indicated that members are choosing to attend their industries technical meetings in lieu of the NSPE meetings. The common response has been “I don’t see any seminars (speakers) that are relative to my field.” In the Race of Relevance, our members have a choice on where to invest in their career. Our members need to have the knowledge that they shouldn’t chose one over the other and that each organization has an important role in their profession. NSPE needs to review the common goals of other national societies and combine resources to resolve common goals. The strength of two societies working as one is a force that can make real change. If working separately, resources become stretched thin and goals may not be accomplished.

8. Due to the broad spectrum of experience and age ranges of NSPE members and our target audiences for membership, communication across a variety of platforms is essential. How do you plan to work across these platforms to ensure NSPE’s goals and objectives are clearly and consistently communicated?

Response

The main issues regarding communication to our members are being clear and consistent. Many of the communication platforms have limited capabilities and by reducing the information being presented, miss-information can be delivered. The messages we are trying to communicate to our members need to be prioritized and the appropriate platform utilized to present this message to our members. The NSPE website has the capability of providing information in great detail. Other platforms such as Facebook and Twitter have the capability of providing instant information to our members and directing them, via a link, to the NSPE website. LinkedIn is a good platform for networking with professionals that many not be current NSPE members. Working with all of the communication platforms and utilizing them appropriately, will allow NSPE to get messages to members and non-members quickly, clearly, consistently and direct them to the appropriate information.

David P. Martini, P.E., F.NSPE

NSPE Vice President Candidate Questions for Written Response

Return to Nancy Oswald at [email protected] by March 1, 2016

1. How have you as an individual, and within specific teams (e.g., committees, task

forces, etc.), worked to advance participation of engineers within NSPE and within

your local and State professional engineering societies?

I have been an active member of MnSPE and NSPE since 1994. During that time I

have served in many leadership positions including all of the officer positions at both

the chapter and State levels. I have served as a chapter Mathcounts Coordinator,

scholarship committee chair, and chair of Minnesota’s Legislative Affairs Committee.

I serve as the Northcentral Regional Representative for the NSPE PAC. In addition, I

have served as the chair of NSPE’s Program Prioritization Task Force and NSPE’s

Sustaining Funds Task Force.

In all of these roles, I have been an advocate for member involvement. I have

organized chapter meetings and events, which included tours, networking

opportunities, fund raising, and business meetings. I have been very active in

legislative activities and have helped to organize events that allow members to learn

more about the legislative process including an annual Day on the Hill. I have

participated in various membership campaigns and have been a vocal supporter of

three-tier membership. I have been very active in speaking to engineers about being

advocates for the profession. It is my belief that we all have a responsibility to leave

the profession in a better place than we found it and if we don’t advocate on our own

behalf there is no one else that will do it for us.

2. What are your top priorities as NSPE President and how do you plan to make them

come to fruition?

In general, I do not believe that it is healthy for our organization to cater to the

personal agenda of a different individual each year when our leadership changes. I

view this position as an opportunity to be part of the NSPE leadership team for a

number of years. With that said, my priorities are rooted in my passion for the vision

and mission of NSPE. Over the past few years, the organization has made positive

steps to transition from discussions focused on governance to topics that relate more

directly to the vision and mission of the organization. I believe that it is important for

NSPE to simplify its message and focus its limited resources on issues that directly

affect the reputation and standing of the profession. I believe that the organization’s

key purpose is to promote and protect the value of the professional engineering

license, which provides tremendous value to our members and ultimately provides

protection to the health, safety, and welfare of the public. I have always believed that

David P. Martini, P.E., F.NSPE - Responses to CSC Questionnaire - pg. 1 of 5

if we are fulfilling our mission as an organization and can effectively communicate

that fact, most PEs will feel obligated to be a member of this great organization.

As President, I will continue to promote three-tier membership and will work hard to

continue the organization’s work to maintain strong relationships with the State

societies and to rebuild our relationship with the Iowa society. I believe that a strong

national organization is critical to maintain and enhance the standing of the profession

and that we cannot fulfill our mission without active support from all three tiers of

membership. Ultimately, we need to continue to build trust between the membership

tiers and continue to improve communication so that we can demonstrate the value of

national membership.

In addition, I support the ongoing effort to evaluate NSPE’s structure and processes to

ensure that NSPE is as nimble and quick acting as possible. I believe this is very

important to ensure that our organization remains relevant into the future. I believe

that ideas and discussions that occur on a local level can ultimately be considered in

the decision making process by making regional representatives responsible for

sharing information that is gathered from the various tiers of membership within each

region.

3. Please describe your vision of how NSPE’s relevance for the professional engineer

will evolve over the next three years.

Similar to the circumstances that existed at the time the organization was founded,

there continues to be concerns related to the ethical practice of engineering, engineers

practicing with questionable qualifications, and threats to the profession from third

parties who downplay the importance of licensure in protecting the health, safety and

welfare of the public. We should not forget that NSPE is the only organization

dedicated to promoting and protecting the value of professional licensure.

As our world becomes more connected and automated, I believe that the pressure

from outside of the profession to reduce licensing requirements will only grow. With

that in mind, NSPE’s role in protecting and promoting the role and necessity of the

PE will be more important than ever. We need to advocate proactively. If NSPE is

not advocating for the profession, it does not appear that there is another organization

ready or willing to take on that role.

4. NSPE has increased its role in assisting states in legislative issues. To what extent,

and in which areas/topics, should NSPE allocate resources in advocacy?

I believe advocacy is the real value that NSPE offers it members and is the area that

the time and talents of our members is needed most. No other organization is a voice

for all PEs. If NSPE is not proactively communicating the importance of PEs to law

makers, employers, educators and the public than I do not believe we are fulfilling


our purpose as an organization. Decision makers at a local level need to understand

that there is a national organization supporting the efforts of the State societies.

All levels of the organization should be strongly encouraged to have ongoing

discussions regarding legislative issues and NSPE should be a resource to facilitate

those discussions. Two way communication is needed to share information that is

relevant to PEs from both a local and national perspective. Efforts need to be made to

organize and motivate our membership to participate in advocacy efforts. Activities

need to be planned at both the national and local levels and we need to seek out

opportunities for publicity (as appropriate) at various times of the year.

We need to constantly focus on stirring the passion of our members to take the matter

of protecting and enhancing the value of licensure in our own hands. We need our

membership to understand that if we don’t establish and communicate what role

professional engineers need to have in our society, others will determine it for us.

We need to remind our members that time and resources dedicated to NSPE is time

and resources dedicated to enhancing the value of the PE license. Threats to licensure

should receive top priority and the resources necessary to extinguish the threat should

be allocated.

A few examples of local issues that I believe should receive NSPE support are as

follows:

• Written support to encourage public employers to hire PEs for positions that

require supervision of PEs (i.e. Public Works Directors)

• Written support to encourage educational institutions to hire PEs

• Written and financial support to States where licensure laws are being

threatened

• Written and financial support to States where QBS is threatened

5. How do you, as an elected NSPE leader, plan to engage the NSPE House of

Delegates and Board of Directors in such a manner that these deliberative bodies may

be more responsive to the needs and values of the engineering profession and

interests of our members?

I believe that we need to rely on our representative structure to gather information on

a local level and bring that information forward for consideration in the decision

making process. I think it is important to have input from the House of Delegates but

I do not believe our recent attempts to have meaningful discussion on a large scale

have been successful. I believe that discussing topics and developing consensus at a

local level and asking the regional representatives to present the opinions of the

region they represent is the most efficient way possible to make decisions and

improve the agility of the organization.


6. A regulatory agency recently recommended removal of licensure for professional

engineers within that state. NSPE became actively engaged and the ‘de-licensure’ was

discontinued. Where do you envision licensure and NSPE’s engagement in licensure,

to go in the future?

I believe this should be a top priority for NSPE and the organization should dedicate

the necessary time, talent, and resources to assist State societies in protecting and

promoting the value of licensure. In addition, we need to continue to be proactive as

an organization so that we are not always on the defensive. We should strive to put

the organization in a position where it can serve as a resource to elected officials and

decision makes. These important people need to know who we are and know that

they can reach out to us as a trusted source of information as it relates to issues

involving licensure. Providing a forum for information sharing between all three tiers

of membership is key to achieving this goal.

I have been actively involved in legislative issues for several years and firmly believe

that being proactive in developing relationships with individual law makers is very

important. We need to have familiar faces and positive ties that are already

established if we hope to be successful addressing legislative issues that threaten the

value of licensure. This can only be accomplished by individual members developing

relationships with their representatives. Politicians want to meet with their

constituents, not an organization.

7. NSPE shares common goals with other national societies. What opportunities and

methods do you plan to apply to increase coordination and collaboration with these

other groups in order to further NSPE goals?

NSPE was founded in 1934 as a non-technical organization dedicated to the interests

of licensed professional engineers, regardless of practice area. At that time, the stated

goal of the organization was to protect engineers (and the public) from unqualified

practitioners, build public recognition for the profession, and stand against unethical

practices and inadequate compensation. Looking at these goals, I believe it is

appropriate for us to partner with technical societies in the various fields of

engineering so that we can build on each other’s strengths and advocate together for

the betterment of the profession. Technical societies have many members that are

PEs and therefore receive benefit from NSPE’s mission. I believe that NSPE’s focus

should continue to be on its unique mission to promote and protect the value of the

Professional Engineering License. Partnerships with technical societies provide an

opportunity to gain strength in numbers for advocacy, outreach, education, etc. With

that said, it is important that these partnerships are well targeted and do not distract

NSPE from being a focused and well-disciplined organization.


8. Due to the broad spectrum of experience and age ranges of NSPE members and our

target audiences for membership, communication across a variety of platforms is

essential. How do you plan to work across these platforms to ensure NSPE’s goals

and objectives are clearly and consistently communicated?

I agree that it is important for NSPE to have communication plans that use a variety

of platforms to meet the various needs of our members. We also need to

communicate effectively with prospective members, partners, elected officials, the

public, etc. To prepare the appropriate communication plans, I will rely on the

expertise of NSPE staff and other NSPE members who have knowledge and a passion

related to this topic. I am open to communicating in any style and across any

platform that is necessary to reach the targeted audience. I think it is important that

our communication plan is forward thinking and evolves with the times. There is a

reason we don’t send telegraphs anymore.

DAVID P. MARTINI, P.E., F.NSPE STATEMENT OF INTEREST AND QUALIFICATIONS

Over the past several years NSPE has made great strides to transition from discussions regarding governance to discussions focused on topics and issues that affect Professional Engineers. As NSPE moves into the future, it is more important than ever for our leadership and membership to focus on what it has in common, not what makes it different. Continuing to strengthen the relationships between the leadership of NSPE, the state societies, and the membership at large, is essential to ensure that our profession has the elevated standing it deserves. Working as one, we can continue to promote and protect the value of the Professional Engineering License so that the long and proud history of our profession is preserved for future generations.


MNSPE/NSPE INVOLVEMENT (CONT.)Mr. Martini has testified before Minnesota Senate and House committees on engineering issues and helped lead the effort for MnSPE to hire a lobbyist in 2011. In 2015, Mr. Martini and the Legislative Relations Committee worked to change state statutes so that state agencies cannot require Professional Engineers to obtain additional certifications to perform work already covered by licensure laws.

Mr. Martini participated on a committee in 2010 to update the MnSPE strategic plan, which included a fresh look at the society’s vision, mission, and goals. He also served a three year term on the board for the Minnesota Professional Engineers Foundation and served as Chair of the scholarship committee in 2015.

Mr. Martini has been a member of the NSPE Program Prioritization Task Force and served as Chair of the Task Force beginning in 2013. He has served as MnSPE’s representative to the NSPE House of Delegates since 2013 and is the North Central Region Representative for the NSPE PAC. In 2014, Mr. Martini participated in a NSPE Committee Leadership Summit Meeting in Orlando to discuss the future direction of the origination. In 2014, Mr. Martini was awarded the NSPE membership grade of Fellow. Most recently, he has served as the Chair of the Sustaining Fund Task Force, which has the charge of reviewing current NSPE policies with regard to sustaining funds for Interest Groups.
