SAMPE's Relevance to Corporations and Government
In this and upcoming columns I will spend a few words discussing the task forces the Board of Directors approved
to carry out our Strategic Roadmap. One of roadmap goals is assuring that corporate and government entities
continue and expand their recognition and reliance on SAMPE leadership, directly engage with SAMPE North
America, and support employee participation.
SAMPE is relied upon by organizations for technologically current, reliable and vetted information in materials
and processes. This is even more important as some people rely upon the internet for their information. Our
role from the chapter level to the global level is assembling the SAMPE community to interact with each other
virtually and physically. It is because of these interactions that resulted with the recent establishment of the
public-private partnerships (such as IACMI) that benefit our field of materials and processes technology, and
you can read more about this in Tobin Mcgregor's column on page 54.
So if we have done such a good job, why is this identified as a critical immediate and long term goal for SAMPE? We
must continue to maintain our leadership in the M&P community as technology and industry continuously
changes. These changes produce an increased need for reliable, vetted, and long-range data. Accomplishing this
goal includes expanding our in-reach and outreach to executive leaders of government, industry, and academic
M&P organizations. We will assure that employees of our partners are provided increased direct support to
be more active in SAMPE at all levels. We will secure sustained and increased participation with SAMPE as a
key partner that mutually benefits everyone's goals. Overall, this how SAMPE is pivotal to every new material
innovation and process solution.
How will we accomplish this? The task force established by the board has a 3-5 year mission to address the
immediate and long-term actions to assure that this strategic goal is accomplished. The leadership of this task
force is under Dr. Brent Strong and Mr. George Hansen, and team members consist of anyone from SAMPE who
has an interest in participating and providing leadership for SAMPE's future. They, along with the other two
task forces, have started meeting since our CAMX conference, are meeting virtually, and will meet at the SAMPE
Conference in Long Beach. This task force is moving forward and developing action plans, and I encourage you
to contact me if you want to work on this task force team.
It is a very exciting time for SAMPE, and we are making sure the M&P community is smarter and greater than
ever before.
