GRAHAM BRALY (2019 Award)

  • The scholarship I received from the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the 7×24 Exchange helped me pursue my electrical engineering education, so that I can use the expertise I have gained to benefit other people through engineering. My interactions with members of the 7×24 Exchange granted me a better understanding of the critical importance of engineering reliable solutions that ensure the safety of the people and organizations those solutions serve. I will remember the generosity of, and the lessons I have learned from 7×24 Exchange members throughout my career in engineering.
