The 4th Annual EAOF Golf Tournament was a huge success and widely attended @ Savannahs Golf Course on Merritt Island in Florida on December 8 -9. Smartrise Engineering hosted Chick Fil A sandwiches and Premium Spirits on Hole #1 to make sure everyone started with a SMILE. The next day we attended EAOF Quarterly Meeting to learn, grow and foster deeper relationships across our industry. Thank You Triumph Electric for the excellent Montanari presentation and the machine replacement option on Gen 2.

Smartrise Engineering had the pleasure of hosting both consultant Richard Baxter with RE Baxter & Associates and Ricky Peters with Metro Elevator DFW. Conversation with these 2 industry legends during dinner was a fantastic way to soak in knowledge while also being among friends. Pictured below are Smartrise Engineering’s Technical Support & Engineering Manager Mel Diaz, Ricky Peters, Richard Baxter and Smartrise Engineering’s South Region Manager Jason Laney.

Smartrise Engineering recently visited NEIEP National Education Headquarters in Warwick, Rhode Island. The educational tools we saw being used for today’s elevator mechanic instruction are remarkable – including Virtual Reality amazingness. After a day of meetings and lingering deep-diving discussions, a strategy was developed as we approach 2026. Pictured below are NEIEP Assistant Executive Director John Caughey, Smartrise Engineering’s Jason Laney, NEIEP Area Coordinator Blanca Rios, NEIEP Program Development Manager Lester White, NEIEP Area Coordinator Jason Cheney, Local 83 Business Manager Aaron Moore, Smartrise Engineering’s Mel Diaz and NEIEP Executive Director David Morgan.
