NCEES is a national nonprofit that advances licensure for engineers and surveyors across the U.S. The NCEES zone interim meetings are held each spring. The primary purpose of the meeting is for representatives from the member licensing boards to hear and discuss reports from the NCEES board of directors, CEO, standing committees, and task forces. The work of the committees and task forces results in motions that will be presented for Council vote at the annual meeting in August. Zone meeting delegates can ask questions and discuss possible annual meeting motions, and they are encouraged to take information back to their boards for further discussion. Additionally, delegates will provide individual board updates and elect a zone vice president and assistant vice president.
In this new leadership role, Twedt will help represent 13 states from Kentucky to Texas.
