APC Quarterly Journal
The Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) Executive Committee approved the establishment of the new Architectural Practice Committee, effective November 16, 2012. The SAME President appointed Mr. JJ Tang, AIA, LEED AP, HDR Inc. as its first chair, who will serve on the SAME national Board of Direction. The committee is an outgrowth of an architectural group which was formed last October with prior recipients of the SAME national Urbahn Medal which is awarded annually to one SAME architect for his or her eminent and notable contribution in the field of architecture. Now the Urbahn Medal group will be the advisory board for the national Architectural Practice Committee.
The mission of the Architectural Practice Committee is to promote architectural practice within SAME, broaden the organization’s exposure in the architectural community, and recruit more architects, along with expanding networking and mentoring opportunities.

Accelerating PFAS Site Characterization/Remediation via Adaptive Strategies & Technologies
PFAS assessment and remediation is top priority for the Department of Defense (DoD), with Remedial Investigations (RIs) ongoing nationwide and serving as a critical step in the CERCLA process to facilitate future risk assessment and remedial action.
I love to serve the Society with my fellow SAME architects for such a good cause and along the way develop a strong bond both professionally and personally with these people. I can truly call them my friends.
