The year 2003 was quite possibly the most challenging year ever faced by AIChE. Please join DVS-AIChE on January 20, 2004, at the Union League in Philadelphia where AIChE President Dianne Dorland, Ph.D, PE, will discuss the many challenges the Institute faced this past year while continuing to serve the needs of chemical engineers like you. Quoting Mark Twain, Dr. Dorland recently wrote “The reports of our death have been greatly exaggerated.” Come to the meeting and learn why this is so and, more specifically, about the many changes taking place at the Institute. As Dr. Dorland will explain, as AIChE moves forward, the Institute does so by continuing to explore new, and often non-traditional, opportunities. For example, as reported in the December 2003 issue of CEP, the AIChE Board of Directors has recently developed “Essential AIChE,” a plan that focuses on essential member services and programs, while also providing a firm financial foundation for the future growth of the Institute. Come learn how these services and programs can benefit your chemical engineering career. Also, as
many of you have heard, AIChE has cut staff by 50%, has subleased 75% of its New
York office space, and continues to explore joint ventures. In September 2003,
AIChE agreed to pursue discussions with ACS and other viable joint ventures.
More recently, a joint taskforce of four AIChE and four ACS directors met to
further discuss a possible partnership. As Dr. Dorland will explain,
implementing cost strategies and exploring new opportunities takes effort and
patience but will most certainly positively impact the future of AIChE. Come
learn more about the current state of the Institute, how it is changing for the
better and, most importantly, how you can benefit from the many changes taking
place at AIChE. |
