Inside ASPE’s 2026 Convention & Expo: Education, Innovation and Connections in OKC

So I wanted to start this podcast off today by giving you some time to tell our listeners about ASPE.

For those who may not be familiar, tell us a little bit about it and what its mission is.

Awesome, definitely can do that, Hannah.

Thanks for having me here this morning.

I'm really happy to be here and excited.

ASPE is a great organization.

It's our professional home for our plumbing engineers and designers.

Our mission, it goes well beyond just technical education.

We exist to advance our profession.

We develop leaders and ultimately we do our best to protect public health through better plumbing system design.

We're nearly 8,000 members.

So it's a great time in our history.

We have over 60 chapters here in North America.

And ASPE is very special.

It isn't just about the size of our organization.

It's so much about our willingness of our members to share their knowledge.

We mentor each other.

and just doing our best again to raise the standard of our profession.

So it doesn't matter if you're designing healthcare facilities, commercial buildings, schools, industrial plants, or any kind of specialty system.

So ASPE, we provide education, relationships, resources, and that helps us grow throughout your career.

And it's a crazy time right now in the world.

And i uh as you saw some from my bio a lot of the history uh industrial systems i've i've dealt with a lot of water systems uh you'd be amazed at the size and volume of some of the systems that we see out there in this semiconductor world and electronics and and not to mention what we get into with mineral processing and special metals and things so it's a It's an amazing world we live in.

Happy to be here.

And we're so excited to have our convention coming up.
