ABOUT US

The Saint Louis Gateway professional chapter of the Society Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE-STL) was founded by Annette Desarden-Carrero in September 2004, where the first meeting was held at St. Louis University. During the first meeting, 12 of the 13 attendants became members and were elected the first Executive Board of Directors (EBOD). Within 2 months, the highly motivated members completed the establishment phase and their bylaws for SHPE. The chapter was recognized as the Professional Chapter by the National Board of Directors on December 3rd, 2004. The first Professional Development workshop took place at the UPS facility in Earth City, Missouri. Since then, the chapter has been working providing workshops and events with the support of well-known companies like Boeing, Ameren, and SSM Health.
