In mid-November, the New York State Society of Professional Engineers (NYSSPE) leadership came together in Saratoga Springs to discuss the future of the organization. The meeting consisted of a morning of small group brainstorming followed by an afternoon of identifying key action items for the organization moving forward. A detailed action plan will be devised and acted upon by the Executive Committee, however we wanted to share some of the main action items that came out of the session with our membership.
Over the next year, NYSSPE will look to implement the following items:
· Add more member benefits for engineering corporations.
· Become more of an industry leader on breaking engineering news, both practice related and legislative. · Improve communication with members, non-members and the public by organizing our channels of communication.
· Explore the idea of regional events that are put on through a State and local partnership.
· Build a more comprehensive chapter toolbox to make it easier for the chapters to succeed.
· Continue STEM activities and attempt to measure their success.
We will continue to update membership on implementation ofthese initiatives and we thank you for your continued support.
