Consulting Specifying Engineer magazine has announced this year’s recipients of their 40 Under 40 award. Among those selected in 2010 is Christy Theisen, P.E., a Consultant based in the RJA/Las Vegas office.

Please join us in congratulating Jason Johnson on his promotion to Associate Manager for the Houston office this past May.  Jason has been with RJA for 4 years and has become a well-respected member of the team, especially with regards to sales and project management. 

RJA endows the annual Rolf Jensen Memorial Public Education Award given out by NFPA. This year’s award was presented to the Grand Traverse Metro Fire Department, Traverse City, MI.  The $5000 grant will go toward the department’s Customized Outreach project, a fire and life safety public education initiative for people with disabilities.

On Tuesday, July 6, 2010, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) issued a safety alert regarding the use of antifreeze in residential fire sprinkler systems.
