Mississippi Valley Section SAE Objectives for 2002-3 Year

1.

Take action to communicate with managers of our key OEM's in the MVS Section - to understand their desires/needs. Use this opportunity to garner their support in urging their SAE members to become active in SAE and then recognize them for doing so.

2.

Progress has been made to use electronic media available for section communication. A more focused approach may help keep cost of printing and postage to control cost. It is recognized there are those who still might need conventional mail. We will need to make a concerted effort to identify if members need section communications, and if so what form they would need, conventional, email, web-site or a combination.

3.

Promote renewed volunteer participation in the local section activities in the coming year, especially AWIM. Each section meeting should promote the AWIM program in some way and recruit volunteers. AWIM has matured and it is the appropriate time to make an impact on the communities in which we live.

4.

Maintain financial responsibility of the section including meeting SAE guidelines.
