Mark Frayne is the new president and chair of OSPE.

“As president of OSPE, I hope to apply my understanding of what individual engineers in Ontario need – no matter where you live or what industry you work in,” Frayne said in a media release. "I believe that all engineers should become members, because OSPE provides a forum where a single voice can be joined with others to make it a shout for the changes needed to make our communities a better place for everyone."
