ASPE Young Professionals Update
The year is coming to an end and I’d like to thank everyone for a great year. If you didn’t have a chance to make it out to an event here are a few events we held this past year:
The Ultimate Escape Game – At this event we worked as a team to discover clues, solve puzzles and make our way through a series of locked rooms.
Fort Worth Axe Factory – Channeled our inner lumberjack and threw hatchets at wooden targets.
Tyler Pipe Factory Tour – Our last event for the year was a tour of the Tyler Pipe Factory where we went behind the scenes and saw first-hand how cast iron soil pipe was made.
After the holidays I’ll be sending out a survey to gauge the type of events the group is interested in. When you see it hit your inbox, please take some time to fill out all of the questions. If there is something else you would be interested in feel free to email me directly.
Have a happy holiday everyone and see you in 2019!

Looking forward to a great 2019 with women in the DFW engineering community. Here are a few pictures from this year's events including the Introduction to Clay Shooting that WOA hosted right before the annual ASPE Clay Shoot. We are looking into hosting a similar event for the golf outings next year so we can get more ladies involved.
We also had a lot of fun with with the AYP team at an axe throwing event that they hosted - see the pics below!
