President's Message

Welcome and thank you for visiting the Engineers Club of Kansas City (ECKC) web site. Our Club is devoted to advancing/promoting the engineering profession and sparking an interest in the profession of engineering in the youth of the Kansas City area. To accomplish this, we annually award scholarships to engineering students from the metro area. The funds for these scholarships are generated from several events each year including a golf tournament (held on President’s Harry Truman’s birthday - May 9th) and the classic shrimp and bingo social (approximately 1,200 attendees) which is held on the last Friday of January. From these events, and our invested funds, some $30,000 - $40,000 is generated for scholarships for area students. Our members have fun and are able to provide a valuable service to the engineering profession at the same time.

In addition to the fund raising events, the Club holds a luncheon the first Monday of each month (September through May). This is an excellent networking event and the programs are both interesting and educational about a variety of topics within our community. This year we are once again returning to the Hereford House (only this time it will be at their Leawood, Kansas location at 5001 Town Center Drive). Please join us for a meeting and learn of the value that we provide to the profession of engineering. You may make a reservation for one of our luncheons by contacting our Reservations Chairperson (David Glastetter - diglastetter@HNTB.com).

You can also join the club by going to the membership portion of this site where the application form and related information can be found or by contacting our Membership Chairs Dan Miller - daniel.miller@opkansas.org or Melissa Prenger - prenger@pbworld.com). New members are always welcome. Please join us for some fun, to contribute to a good cause, and improve one of the oldest and most valuable professions, engineering.

Applications for our scholarships are also available on this web site so a student can down load this form and begin the process of obtaining a scholarship to major in engineering while attending an accredited engineering school.

Please contact me, or any other officer, if you have any questions or want to become an active member in Engineers Club of Kansas City (now over 100 years old).
