ASME members now have access to all business education products, services and resources offered by the American Management Association through an alliance formed by the two organizations last month.

AMA products that are available to ASME members include all business education products, nationwide and customized seminars, research and surveys, articles and other editorial resources, and certain special member benefits. ASME members will get a 10 percent discount on all AMA conferences, seminars and special events.

The goal of the alliance is to provide business and management training to ASME members.

"ASME's strategic partnership with AMA broadens our ability to serve our members and the greater engineering community," said John Corcoran, managing director, ASME Member Affairs. "AMA's years of experience in management development, combined with ASME's professional development programs, offer engineers the training and the tools to excel as managers in their respective engineering disciplines."

Pat Leonard, AMA's executive vice president of U.S. management education, said, "This partnership will provide ASME members with practical management training and the necessary skills to succeed in today's competitive business environment. We view this opportunity as an ideal means to assist these association members to improve their individual job performance and the performance of their companies.

Details on how the program works for ASME members are available at www.asme.org/member.

AMA offers more than 170 seminars and workshops in project management, finance, communication skills, sales, marketing, purchasing, general management, leadership and human resources.

In addition to AMA seminars, ASME members can attend AMA Current Issues Briefings and Forums, receive access to AMA's Members-Only Web site and Online Library, and receive discount pricing on AMA's executive conference facilities.
