Annual Meeting of Invited Attorneys 

History

In 2002, the National Society of Professional Engineers’ (NSPE) Educational Foundation and Victor O. Schinnerer & Company, Inc. established the Fellowship as a tribute to the remarkable man who was the NSPE’s general counsel for 40 years and a consultant to Schinnerer for 15 years.
