CMA Senior Engineers Robert Best, Jr., P.E. and Jennifer Smith, P.E., are participating in the Florida Engineering Leadership Institute (FELI) this year and part of their class project is to connect disadvantaged students to virtual classrooms by providing and installing Wi-Fi towers at public spaces throughout the state! Rob recently helped with installing some of these Wi-Fi towers with FELI classmates in the City of Okeechobee. FELI runs from November through August and consists of six sessions held in key cities throughout Florida. Each session focuses on a different aspect of leadership, ranging from development of personal leadership skills to team building, through interactive sessions and first-hand accounts from experts in their respective fields. CMA is a proud donor of the project. For more information about the class project and ways to contribute (raffle, virtual 5K, and direct donation), please visit https://www.feli21.com/
