Spring District A
Leadership Conference, New District Leader and Karen Ohland |
The meeting will take
place on the
Lafayette College Campus in
We
will be meeting in Marquis Hall (campus map #25). Parking
is available on either of the parking
decks (campus map #’s 2 or 15) and across the street from Marquis Hall. The map
page contains a link for Directions to the Lafayette College Campus.
We strongly encourage each
section to sent at least one
person. Better yet, two or three representatives from each section will
help to
create a dynamic and balanced group.
Consider carpooling with others from your section or sections on
your
way to the event. Hotel rooms can
easily accommodate 2 people – consider sharing a room to minimize
expenses
This is a critical time for the Sections of ASME. We need your help to
plan for
a positive future. That future will enable us to network with our peers
and
interact with the next generation of mechanical engineering students at
our
local colleges and universities. We have had a few meetings so far and
have created a history
page. We look forward to see you at the
meeting.
Drive safely.
Conference Registration Fee -
$35 per
