“It must be noted that Lawrence's leadership role as Chair of The Hudson Mohawk Section at ASME has benefited the engineering community as well as ASME on a whole. His innovative ideas and collaboration with "sister-societies" like AIAA, IEEE and SWE have created relationships that allow for the sharing of knowledge across several disciplines within engineering. He utilizes his connections to bring in interesting speakers to his Albany-centered Hudson-Mohawk section. For example, he recently brought U.S. Congressman & mechanical engineer Paul Tonko to Union College to speak on ASME.org's global-theme of "Energy". Congressman Tonko currently has the ear of President Obama. Lawrence is an asset to ASME and the engineering community!”
