 ASME International Board on Governmental Relations:

To provide advice to elected and appointed officials on Engineering and technology matters affecting public interest, in accordance with the policies prescribed in ASME Policy P15.1. ASME Policy P15.1 addresses how the Society will interact with the mass media, the general public, government bodies, and other interested audiences. The posture of the advice shall foster a climate of understanding and credibility that sustains a continuing dialog.
