- have been the municipal engineer or consulting engineer to the municipality in responsible charge of the project/program
- have submitted with entry a resolution from the governing body or a written endorsement from the named municipal administrator for which the work has been completed, naming the engineer in responsible charge of the project or program and consenting to the submission of an award application. (Only applies to consulting engineers who are not the named municipal engineer.)

Mark your calendars! NJSME will continue offering continuing education credits for PEs at our general membership meetings in 2018. The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 12.
We pride ourselves on offering low cost options and relevant topics for our membership. If you would like to recommend a topic or speaker for one of these meetings, please email Vice President Tim Staszewski with your suggestions. Further, to help subsidize our meeting costs, we rely on meeting sponsors who can participate in our meeting with a tabletop display and brief remarks for a relatively small contribution. Any potential sponsors should also be directed to Tim via the email above, or they can call NJSME at 609-393-0102.
