| The Chief
Engineers Association is a not-for-profit, fraternal organization
comprised of men and women in leadership positions within the field
of power engineering and real estate asset management.
For over 90
years, the Chief Engineers Association has brought educational
services, information and camaraderie to its members through
the publication of "The Chief Engineer" magazine, educational meetings
and social gatherings throughout the Chicago area. The "Chief Engineer
Magazine" is published monthly and has a list of subscribers from
throughout the United States and Canada.
Membership in
the Chief Engineers Association is open to individuals who work
within the industries of power engineering and/or real estate asset
management and who serve in supervisory positions. Members
would pay a one time petition fee of $30.00, and dues of $50.00
per year. Associate members pay $30.00 per year. This entitles them to receive
the monthly copy of our magazine,
attend the monthly educational meetings where dinner and cocktails
are provided and the opportunity to attend other social activities
such as the annual picnic at no additional cost to active members and for a $30 dinner and drink fee for associate members. In addition, members
have the opportunity of attending other Association
activities such as the annual golf outing, the annual dinner
dance and the vendor fair.
Proceeds obtained
from subscriptions and dues pay for the administration of the organization,
educational meetings, and also fund the Chief Engineers Scholarship
Program. This program provides 4-year, $10,000, scholarships to 4 students
each year. Scholarships are awarded based upon merit and are open
to any student attending, or planning to attend a 4-year college
or university. Students need not be related to a member nor associated
with the Chief Engineers Association to apply. Information pertaining
to scholarships may be obtained from the Association by contacting
us via email, letter or telephone.
The Chief Engineers
Association also provides Associate Membership to the organization
to manufacturers, distributors and consultants. Associate membership
permits attendance at all Association functions and allows networking
and information exchange between members and associate members.
Associate members must advertise within the Chief Engineer Magazine
and/or upon the Chief Engineer Website. Associate members are provided
the opportunity to co-sponsor one of the 12 educational meetings
each year where they may introduce new products and/or technology
to the membership attending. Co-sponsors pay a capped fee of $5,000 for the meeting, with the Chief Engineers Association paying the remaining fees of approximately $25,000. Advertising rates within the Chief
Engineer Magazine are purposely kept to a minimum to allow small
entrepreneurs and start-up companies the opportunity to participate.
The Association
is operated through a Board of Directors, comprised of elected members
of the Association. Each member of the Association has a vote in
all elections to the Board of Directors. Associate members may not
vote in elections of board members nor upon motions made at meetings
of the Association. Members of the Board of Directors serve without
compensation throughout their term in office and generally devote
20 hours or more of service to the Association each month.
A professional
staff is maintained to run the day-to-day activities of the Association
and to publish the Chief Engineer magazine.
The motto of
the Association is: "Anything that can be done, can be done better." This
motto epitomizes the philosophy of the Association that through
education and hard work, we can together advance our profession
and improve upon providing safe and productive environments for
the tenants and fellow workers within our facilities.
