We’re thrilled to celebrate a major professional milestone for Alexander Wimsatt, a key member of our Structural Design team - he’s officially a licensed Professional Engineer in the State of New Hampshire! Alex dedicated four months to early mornings, late nights, and weekend study sessions to reach this goal. With the support of PROCON’s leadership and training teams (and the flexibility to work from home one day a week), he had access to comprehensive prep resources and the time to put them to use. We're proud to support our team members in their growth, and even prouder to celebrate their success. Way to go, Alex! 👏

This moment in 1973 marks the official beginning of the PROCON name with a new logo.
