Mission and programs · 2025

• The SFPE Chesapeake Chapter advances the science and practice of fire protection engineering by providing professional education, supporting students and academic programs, encouraging research, and promoting professional engagement within the fire and life safety community. During the year, the Chapter conducted monthly lunch-and-learn meetings for members and other fire protection professionals. These meetings provided continuing education on technical topics related to fire protection engineering and allowed attendees to earn professional development hours toward maintaining professional credentials and advancing their technical knowledge. The monthly educational meetings generated approximately $3,200 in net proceeds for the Chapter. The Chapter also conducted an educational symposium that provided more extensive technical instruction and professional development opportunities. The symposium operated at an approximate net loss of $1,000, reflecting the Chapter's commitment to providing educational programming even when registration and sponsorship revenue did not fully offset the cost of the event. The Chapter provided significant financial support to fire protection engineering education. A contribution of $25,500 was made to the University of Maryland Fire Protection Engineering program's current use fund to support the program's educational mission, student development, and other current program needs. The Chapter also contributed $500 specifically to support student scholarships. These contributions are intended to strengthen fire protection engineering education, encourage students entering the profession, and support the development of future fire protection engineers. The Chapter also contributed $1,500 to the SFPE Foundation to support research benefiting the fire protection engineering profession. This contribution supports the broader advancement of technical knowledge, research, and innovation related to fire and life safety. In addition to its educational programs and charitable contributions, the Chapter held an annual golf outing that brought together approximately 120 golfers and other participants from the regional fire protection, engineering, construction, and related professional communities. The event provided an opportunity for professional engagement and relationship building while also generating approximately $17,700 in net proceeds for the Chapter. These proceeds help support the Chapter's educational programs, student support, contributions to fire protection engineering education and research, and other activities conducted in furtherance of its exempt purpose. Through these activities, the Chapter continued its long-term objective of advancing fire protection engineering knowledge, supporting the education and professional development of current and future practitioners, encouraging research, and strengthening the fire protection engineering community throughout the Chesapeake region.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
