Long time member Scott Hongkham was awarded the 2015 PECG Member of the
Year which was an extremely proud moment for the Inland Empire Section.
This is well deserved recognition for Scott, whom is a strong supporter of our Organization. Thanks to Past-President
Roy Flores for the great words expressed during his speech and
presentation of the Award. Truly a memorable evening for the IE Section to
capture footage of a very surprised Scott.
