The
Society of American Military Engineers
2004 Annual Plan
Proud
Heritage, Promising Future
As
this year's president of The Society of American Military
Engineers it is my honor and privilege to extend greetings
to all who serve this nation in any aspect of national
defense -- on active duty, as an industry design professional,
constructor/builder, material or service supplier.
Since
the beginnings of our Society in 1919, and its chartering
in 1920, the Society has served as the definitive resource
for perspectives and pertinent information to enhance
the preparedness of our nation in peace, conflict, and
both national and international emergencies. It is our
purpose to advance and support the Nation's ability
to rapidly mobilize engineering and construction capabilities.
The Society's members have risen to the challenge on
many fronts and under demanding circumstances. These
have come to characterize our Proud Heritage.
Today,
the Society is focusing on the contemporary and future
issues that embody the advancement of the knowledge
of defense and military engineering. Our mission activities
and programs transcend the dissemination and sharing
of leading-edge information for our members regarding
Information/Knowledge Management, International Action,
Technology Advancement, Readiness, Education, Young
Member, Environmental, Industry and Military Affairs.
We are committed to adding value in each of these areas
in order to help develop the professional capabilities
of our individual members and those of our corporate
and public agency member organizations to the fullest
extent and thus ensure their Promising Future.
As
you review our mission, values, and this Annual Plan,
I am confident you will quickly conclude that there
are only four choices concerning The Society of American
Military Engineers:
Choose to Join
Choose to Stay
Choose to Grow
Choose to Participate
Regardless
of the color of your uniform -- green, blue, white,
black, gray or pinstriped -- there is much to gain from
your active association in The Society. It is a unique,
dynamic, synergistic, relevant and viable professional
forum for the advancement of public and private partnerships
for defense preparedness. Your involvement will enhance
and assure our Proud Heritage and Promising Future.
