TMS
is fortunate to have many capable members who choose to
devote significant time and energy to our efforts to
advance the knowledge of masonry. Outgoing President,
John Melander, had the pleasure to recognize one of
those members at the TMS Awards Luncheon on November 10th
with the President's Award. During his presentation,
Melander noted that Miller exemplifies the criteria for
this award, which is to recognize someone who has made
exceptional contributions to the success of the Society.

Miller is a doer; when he sees that something needs to
be done, he is quick to roll up his sleeves and get it
done. He has served in a number of roles including as a
member of the Technical Activities committee, the
Administrative Committee Team, Secretary/Treasurer,
Vice-President, President Elect, and now as President.
He has assisted with the development of the Masonry
Designer’s Guide and the High Wind Manual for Masonry,
which will soon be balloted. Miller has also be
extremely generous to TMS, supporting directly several
projects through sponsorship and his donations.
Melander
noted that outside of TMS, Miller’s accomplishments are
just as impressive. Miller is a structural engineer and
has been involved in that profession for over 35 years.
He is active in a number of organizations, including the
Structural Engineers Association of Oregon (SEAO),
Consulting Engineers Council of Oregon (CECO) and the
Oregon Chapter of the American Concrete Institute (OACI)
Miller joins a distinguished list of TMS's most
prominent members who have received the President’s
Award in the past, which includes James L. Noland, John
G. Tawresey, James E. Amrhein, J. Gregg Borchelt, Gary
C. Hart, Clayford T. Grimm, William G. Bailey, Daniel P.
Abrams, John H. Matthys, Max L. Porter, and Richard R.
Klingner, James Colville, Stuart Beavers, Russell H.
Brown, John M. Melander, J. Patrick Rand, and Lawrence
F. Kahn. |
