SAME Mobile Post

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the September SAME Mobile Post Luncheon!

We enjoyed hearing from the leadership team at Silicon Ranch as they shared insight into utility-scale solar development and the complex intersection of regional infrastructure, energy, and community needs.

A special thank you to Nick de Vries, Keyes Metcalf, Rob Riley, and Matt Beasley for joining us and sharing their expertise with the SAME Mobile Post.

We appreciate everyone who continues to make our luncheons a great opportunity to connect, learn, and grow together!

Our July meeting was a tremendous success and marked an exciting start to the year!

We were honored to welcome Darryl James, Ph.D., P.E., Dean of the College of Engineering at the University of South Alabama, who shared an overview of the college's exceptional engineering programs and its commitment to preparing the next generation of engineering professionals.

During the meeting, we also proudly inducted our 2026–2027 Board of Directors:
Travis Hyman, President
Dallas Wyatt, Vice President
Carlos Prieto, Secretary
Connor Cobb, Treasurer

We were also honored to receive a Streamer Award, recognizing the continued dedication and accomplishments of our chapter.

One of the highlights of the meeting was awarding scholarships to four outstanding students: Camantha Cobb, Jana Boyd, Dallas Wyatt, and Meadow Ogg. Congratulations to each recipient! We are proud to support your educational journey and future success.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to a memorable July meeting. We look forward to another year of leadership, service, and investing in the future of our profession.
