...and now a word from our Chair
January, 2009

Happy Holidays!

Our Section has already had several GREAT! events this year:

  • Our September Dinner Meeting was an Exhibit / Presentation, by Bill Woodall describing his adventure with a home-built Sopwith Triplane;
  • In October, we had a good mix of both Student & Senior Section members join us at our recent tour / meeting at GLBC;
  • November 6 was the ACESS Honors & Awards Banquet for High School & College students going into Science & Engineering Studies; and
  • November 13 was a joint dinner meeting with our neighboring CAM ASME Section, including a th presentation on "The State of ASME", by Tom Davis, our District Leader.
My continued goal is to make your membership in ASME, and the Akron Section in particular, as rewarding as possible, with these goals in mind:
  • Activities & Tours which are FUN & INTERESTING (we are already working on ideas for next Fall's Meetings, so please send me ideas!);
  • Opportunities to meet other Engineers & like-minded folks, for networking and building relationships;
  • Strengthening the links between the University of Akron ASME Student Section with our Akron ASME Senior Section;
  • Opportunities to mentor young people interested in Engineering Careers (Area Science Fair Judges are urgently needed! Contact Brent Sisler for details);
  • Get your reservations / $30 deposit in for the March 7th Seminar, Renewable Energy for Ohio (3 hours, may be helpful for maintaining your Ohio PE license).
Please call or e-mail me, or others on our board, with YOUR ideas, for meetings, tours, and topics for training.

Thanks!
