FWCS’ New Chair and Vice-Chair A fantastic professional opportunity came to our 2014-2015 chair Magdalena Krstanoski. To best serve her professional goals and those of ASME she made the heavyhearted decision to step down. Timothy Hunt will serve as the chair for the remaineder of the term, and Nyssa Masters was elected the new Vice-Chair. FWCS is excited for Magdalena and wishes her success. We also look forward to Timothy and Nyssa’s leadership for the new year.
The Next Step for ASME FWCS Today’s digital world enables open and engrossing communication. In an effort to unify our engineering community over the next year we encourage members to frequent www.asme.org, and to represent your section by joining the FWCS group.

Joint FWCS ASME and ASHRAE FWC Yuengling Tour On December 12, 2014 FWCS joined the local ASHRAE chapter (Florida West Coast) for a tour of the Tampa Yuengling facility. The 17 of us were guided by Maureen Brake and Santo Lazzara. Ms. Brake, our tour guide, delivered an energetic presentation of the brewing facilities and cleverly interlaced Yuengling’s history along the way. Mr. Lazzara, the facility’s engineer, showed us components from the chilled water, ammonia, and carbon dioxide recovery systems on the second half of the tour. Not intimidated by the group of engineers, Mr. Lazzara challenged his audience with a series of questions that expanded our understanding and reminded participants the importance of scientific fundamentals. After completing the tour we gathered in Yuengling’s biergarten and sampled a variety of their fine product. Ms. Brake and Mr. Lazzara were a dynamic duo and both organizations greatly appreciated their time and expertise. FWCS would also like to thank Mike Costello and Christopher Pille from ASHRAE FWC for their collaboration on the event. We look forward to many future opportunities of shared enjoyment and involvement.

2014 FWCS ASME Holiday Dinner
We celebrated the year end at Lee Roy Selmons on December 17, 2014. About a dozen professionals and several students came to enjoy dinner with their fellow peers. The room was brimming with pleasant conversation as people filled their plates with delicious food from the buffet. Timothy Hunt was introduced as our new chair. In his address he announced his term goals – increase involvement from members and their families, to be an organization of professional stewardship, and to enhance the availability of resources.

Looking Forward – An Excerpt From The ONE ASME Brochure Since ASME’s founding in 1880, our organization has helped develop countless solutions that have improved the body of engineering knowledge and the quality of life for people around the world. Today, we find ourselves at an exciting moment in time. The world is evolving at an unprecedented rate, with new advances and opportunities that were unthinkable even a decade ago. If we’re to continue serving our stakeholders and fulfill our mission to enhance technical knowledge and create a safer world, we must evolve with it. That’s why it’s with great excitement that we introduce you to “ONE ASME”—not a reinvented organization but, rather, more focused on global engineering needs—empowered as never before to expand and leverage the value we’ve consistently delivered for more than a century, while simultaneously positioning us for continued success and growth in the 21st century and beyond.

“The reality is, far too many of us try to do far too many things. Like an air traffic controller,
we need to learn to land one plane at a time - to do fewer things with excellence rather than
many with mediocrity.” - Dr. Stephen R. Covey
