Text references
The ultimate question as to Engineers A and B is whether they are attempting to use their professional affiliation with the local chapter to secure personal advantage.
There is no such indication in the facts before us.
We might be inclined to a different result if it were shown that Engineers A and B had a position of special influence in the chapter other than normal membership, such as holding office or membership on a committee involved in the question, or that they had exerted influence of some sort on the officers or members of the chapter.
