HUNT VALLEY, MD—Terry F. Neimeyer, PE, chief executive officer and chairman of the board for Maryland-based KCI Technologies Inc., was honored with a scholarship established in his name at the consulting engineering firm’s annual awards luncheon on October 6.

“There is no one more deserving of this honor than Terry,” said KCI President Nathan J. Beil, PE. “We feel that a scholarship in his name recognizes not only his exceptional leadership, but also his ongoing commitment to education and his willingness to provide opportunities for young people who want to follow his lead.”
