The Rock Valley Section has recently experienced difficulty sustaining volunteer leadership and member support. As a result, minimal Section activity has taken place in this local area, and SPE Governance has placed Rock Valley on provisional status.

Provisional status means that Society leaders, in conjunction with SPE Headquarters, want to work with members to revive the Section. If you are interested in participating in this initiative, please contact the SPE Leadership Services Deparment via email (leadershipservices@4spe.org) or by phone (+1 203-740-5430) for more information. While revitalization efforts are underway, be assured that SPE will continue to provide you with the best possible technical information and professional networking opportunities.

Current members of Rock Valley also have the option to transfer to another Section. While you are welcome to choose any Section, the groups below are adjacent to Kentuckiana, and will most likely meet your needs. Information about all of SPE’s Sections can be found at www.4spe.org/communities/sections.
