Mission and Vision Statements of ASME Organizations </b><br>
ASME International <br>
Vision To be the premier organization for promoting the art, science
and practice of mechanical engineering throughout the world. <br>
Mission To promote and enhance the technical competency and professional
well-being of our members and through quality programs and activities
in mechanical engineering better enable its practitioners to contribute
to the well-being of humankind. <br>
Council on Member Affairs <br>
Vision To be the premier provider of services and benefit programs to
mechanical engineers throughout the world. <br>
Mission To anticipate and aggressively develop programs to meet the
professional, economic and social needs of mechanical engineers and
thereby encourage and facilitate the growth of membership and participation
of mechanical engineers in Society programs. <br>
Region IX <br>
Vision To be the premier professional organization for improving the
stature of mechanical engineers and students throughout Region IX. <br>
Mission To aggressively develop programs to enhance the stature of mechanical
engineers and students by addressing the professional, economic and
social needs, facilitate participation in Society activities and promote
membership in ASME. <br>
REGION IX OBJECTIVES <br>
Strategically developed objectives will improve service to our members;
provide leadership in technology transfer and supporting educational
activities; forge strong links with members, students and young engineers;
enhance relations with industry and the university; and focus on the
importance of "ASME for a Lifetime." <br>
These Region IX objectives are particularly applicable to the membership
in this period of corporate restructure and international involvement.
<br>
The following objectives are applicable to Region IX and its involvement
with ASME International; within Region IX and the Operating Board; Region
IX Sections, Technical Chapters, Sub-sections/groups and Student Sections.
These objectives are intended to be consistent with information developed
at the Congress of Councils meeting in Minneapolis (October 1995) where
"The ASME Journey" was defined and endorsed by the officers
of ASME. Specific programs and activities associated with these objectives
can include items from existing ASME inventory, modified versions incorporating
aims expressed in the "Journey," or new programs to meet the
challenges presented in the Journey. Journey Topic Headers associated
with "The Journey" are appropriately identified to each of
the Region IX objectives. This identity follows the description of Region
IX Objectives: <br>
