See what's new on ASME Connections

Keeping updated on the activities connected with ASME's new strategic objectives takes diligence, but the ASME Connections Web site (www.asme.org/About/Connections) offers a shortcut. ASME Connections helps members rediscover the people, projects and programs that are reshaping ASME into a more viable, market-focused organization for all engineers, organizers of the Web site say.

ASME Connections provides easy access to the Society's new structure and strategies, including a view of the five ASME sectors (Codes & Standards, Knowledge and Community, Centers, Institutes, and Strategic Management) and corresponding organizational chart.

The site also hosts the Balanced Scorecard Strategy Map, strategic funding options, the "Changes at ASME" brochure and more. There is also a link from the site to the Communities of Practice discussion board.

An important feature of ASME Connections spotlights the stories of volunteers and staff, and the early successes, views and commentary on how the new ASME strategic focus has influenced their projects and activities.

For instance, Howard Berkof, an early career engineer and Board of Governors leadership development initiative intern, discusses changes at ASME and the future of the Society. "So many of today's early career engineers have become accustomed to change to keep up with the world economy and the changes at ASME are no different," Berkhof said.

As co-chair of the Leadership Training Conference committee, Jack Whitehead has commented on the new conference and how it "… brought ASME leaders together to realize their common interests and concerns while providing a forum for making a difference in ASME."

These stories and more are a click away at www.asme.org/About/Connections.
