SAE Annual Report 2009 - 1

2009 is testament that an organization can grow and become stronger through adversity. In some ways, the global economic crisis would have been a builtin, legitimate excuse to just accept that 2009 would be short on successes and long on frustration. But, that’s not how we work here at SAE International. In fact, that’s not how the mobility engineering industry in general works. We don’t let challenges and setbacks set our course. We believe in the adage that it’s not the challenges that define who we are; it’s how we respond to those challenges. Again, 2009 is testament to that. We not only faced the economic and global challenges that came our way, we turned them into opportunities. We used those tests to reevaluate our entire portfolio of programs, products and services. And, most importantly, we did it on our terms. Yes, we were forced to make

some changes, but the changes weren’t reactive; they were proactive. And, they were done with the input and guidance from the members of SAE International. We can be proud of these changes and the positive impact they will have for SAE International and its members not only in the short term, but in the long term, as well. Some examples of the successes from 2009 include: •	 In	one	of	the	most	significant	changes	in	its	105-year	history,	 SAE International created a new membership model for 2010	and	beyond.	The	new	model,	which	is	a	first-of-its-kind	 in professional societies, will feature a tiered membership structure; a member rewards program; and a new membersonly	SAE	Website.	The	new	model	is	designed	to	put	SAE	 International on the leading edge of technical societies.
