PEER Shows Support for Engineers Without Borders
Thank you to all who came to visit PEER Consultants' Booth 120 at Tri-Con 2021. At our booth, we included a bowl with a sign that read: “Drop your business card; for every card, PEER will donate $1 to Engineers Without Borders.” Thanks to each and every visitor's generosity, PEER has donated $100 to Engineers Without Borders (EWB). EWB is a non-profit humanitarian organization that collaborates with community partners to design and build sustainable engineering projects.
Tri-Con 2021 Recap
After a missed year of collaboration due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Tri-Association Conference (Tri-Con) was back this year, and the first day could not have gone any better! If you were not already familiar with Tri-Con, it is a conference that brings together professionals in the water industry from across the Chesapeake region. The goal is to get attendees to learn, network, and share information on how we can all keep the waters flowing safe and clean.
