Pay It Forward – SMPS Atlanta Sending Care Packages to Iraq The Atlanta Chapter of SMPS has a new Pay it Forward challenge this year, we are sending care packages to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the Gulf Region Division (GRD), headquartered in Baghdad, and located throughout Iraq. The Atlanta Chapter will be collecting specific items at each lunch program this year to ship in care packages to show our support and appreciation of this important group of construction professionals, who have been left out of mainstream “support the troops” efforts.
The GRD is comprised of Civilians, Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Contractors. The GRD provides quality and sustainable engineering in support of civil/military construction in Iraq. These projects include hospitals, medical clinics, water treatment facilities, schools, and military installations. The GRD is comprised of a small group of about 250 brave souls and are spread out across Iraq, from resident offices in Baghdad to the Kurdish region in the north. Click here for more information on the GRD. For more information on the SMPS Atlanta care package program, please contact Beth Harris at MBP, bharris@mbpce.com or 404-869-6301.
