Society <strong>of</strong> Manufacturing Engineers<br />
For more than eight decades, the<br />
Society <strong>of</strong> Manufacturing Engineers<br />
(SME) has been serving the needs<br />
<strong>of</strong> its stakeholders and <strong>manufacturing</strong><br />
in general through its various products<br />
and services. As the premier <strong>manufacturing</strong><br />
knowledge resource throughout the global<br />
<strong>manufacturing</strong> community, the Society’s goal is<br />
to keep <strong>manufacturing</strong> moving forward in 2013.<br />
SME has a wide range <strong>of</strong> products and services<br />
that it <strong>of</strong>fers, as well as many different ways<br />
it interacts with individuals and companies in<br />
<strong>manufacturing</strong>. A significant opportunity and<br />
challenge is to make sure that we effectively<br />
utilize all <strong>of</strong> SME’s resources, working together<br />
to achieve a high level <strong>of</strong> synergy among all our<br />
SME activities.<br />
If we look at all the things that SME does,<br />
you can see why SME is “making it possible”<br />
for <strong>manufacturing</strong> to move forward and be<br />
a strong foundation for our country and the<br />
world to prosper.<br />
• The SME Education Foundation (SME-EF)<br />
is inspiring and helping to prepare the nextgeneration<br />
<strong>manufacturing</strong> workforce.<br />
• Our chapters and other membership activities<br />
are bringing people together to meet new<br />
people, share their expertise, and improve<br />
their companies and local communities.<br />
• Our tradeshows and other events improve and<br />
expand businesses and expose thousands<br />
<strong>of</strong> people to the latest <strong>manufacturing</strong><br />
technology, products and knowledge.<br />
• Tooling U-SME Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Development<br />
<strong>of</strong>ferings are available for many individuals to<br />
learn new skills and enhance their careers,<br />
and for companies to improve their current<br />
workforce to meet global <strong>manufacturing</strong><br />
needs and beat international competition.<br />
• Manufacturing Engineering Media products<br />
connect people with the latest technology,<br />
ideas and trends that are happening all<br />
around us every day at an ever-increasing<br />
pace.<br />
• Our relationships with government, educational<br />
institutions and other <strong>org</strong>anizations increase<br />
our relevancy, as well as make us an integral<br />
part <strong>of</strong> improving the image <strong>of</strong> <strong>manufacturing</strong>.<br />
An important aspect <strong>of</strong> SME, as a not-for-pr<strong>of</strong>it<br />
<strong>org</strong>anization, is that the revenue we receive<br />
from our products and services gives the<br />
Society the ability to give back in ways that<br />
help SME members to advance in their careers;<br />
help inspire the next-generation workforce<br />
in the form <strong>of</strong> scholarships and support <strong>of</strong><br />
STEM (science, technology, engineering and<br />
mathematics) education and PRIME schools;<br />
engaging in student competitions; helping<br />
with workforce development <strong>of</strong> our returning<br />
veterans; promotions to improve the image <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>manufacturing</strong>; and many other activities.<br />
Making it possible requires a lot <strong>of</strong> work by<br />
a lot <strong>of</strong> people. And, we have the true power<br />
<strong>of</strong> our Society, which is our volunteers, those<br />
individuals who give their time for their own<br />
personal reasons to help make SME better and<br />
more meaningful to more people.<br />
SME is focused on “making it possible” for you,<br />
your company and our <strong>society</strong> to flourish. We<br />
look forward to working with everyone for a<br />
successful and satisfying year for the Society and<br />
everyone it impacts.<br />
