Our Committees and Initiatives

Education and Programs

The Education and Programs Committees plan the chapter’s educational, training, and client-focused events throughout the year. By identifying timely industry topics and areas of professional growth, the committees help deliver programs that are relevant, engaging, and valuable to members.

Membership

The Membership Committee promotes SMPS Maryland, welcomes new members, and encourages ongoing engagement within the chapter. The committee also supports membership recruitment, coordinates outreach efforts, and serves as a resource for current and prospective members.

Special Events

The Special Events Committee plans and coordinates the chapter’s signature social and networking events, including the annual kick-off, mixers, and year-end celebration. The committee manages themes, venues, and logistics to create memorable and successful experiences for attendees.

Sponsorship

The Sponsorship Committee builds and maintains relationships with chapter sponsors, helping them maximize the value of their support and engagement. The committee also promotes sponsor visibility and coordinates sponsor appreciation efforts throughout the year.

Chapter Liaison

The Chapter Liaison serves as a key connector between SMPS Maryland, other SMPS chapters, and peer A/E/C industry organizations. This role helps strengthen relationships, encourage collaboration, and identify opportunities for joint programs, shared initiatives, and broader engagement across the industry.

Young Member Liaison

The Young Member Liaison advocates for emerging professionals within SMPS Maryland and helps ensure the chapter remains relevant and welcoming to newer members. This role supports programs, networking, and mentorship opportunities tailored to young professionals and those early in their careers.

Get Involved
