A Note From ASEM's 2023-24 President   |   October 2024


Dear ASEM Community,

As my term as President comes to a close, I have been reflecting on the journey we have shared over this past year. I have been inspired by our diverse community of practitioners, academics, and students committed to advancing the field of engineering management.

This year, we spent time focusing on better defining our product offerings and how we provide them to members and beyond, for technical leaders and engineering managers around the world. We have identified more specific ways for the Functional Directors to meet our members where their needs are, and much insight has been provided by the Industry Advisory Board.


    Annmarie Uliano

    I look forward to seeing many of you in just a few days in Virginia Beach. Attendees will be experiencing 128 in person presentations, 19 virtual presentations, 6 interactive workshops, 3 panels sessions, and 2 keynote speeches throughout the conference. Check out the program at https://event.asem2024.exordo.com/. I hope to connect with many of you at the Welcome Reception on Wednesday or Thursday at the Social Event. Lastly, if you are unable to join us in person, you can register to attend the Annual Business Meeting on Friday streaming on Zoom: http://awh.wildapricot.org/event-5878684

    ASEM is more than an organization—it is a global family united by a shared purpose. Our strategic partnerships have broadened our horizons and amplified our voice as we strive to make engineering management an essential cornerstone in industries and institutions globally. I am grateful to the Board of Directors, volunteers, and members who contributed to our presence, from organizing exceptional events to initiating projects.

    As we prepare for a new chapter, I am confident that ASEM will continue to grow under the leadership of our incoming President, Dr. Jena Shafai Asgarpoor, CPEM. I am excited for all that the future holds for ASEM. I hope we can all remain committed to our shared vision, to support each other, and to continue driving excellence in engineering management for years to come.

    Best,

    Au.

                                      Opportunity to Contribute to ASEM Professional Certifications

                                      ASEM seeks knowledge volunteers as part of a team chartered to investigate validation or accreditation of ASEM’s growing portfolio of certifications. The use of a third-party standard, has long been discussed. Organizations such as ABET use international standards such as ISO 9000. The Institute for Credentialing Excellence (ICE) and the IACET (International Accreditors for Continuing Education and Training) are two examples of U.S. organizations that accredit personnel and continuing education related certifications or certificates. The major deliverable for the Accreditation Project is a actionable plan for obtaining recognized and effectual accreditation as our certification/badging products grow. If you have applicable accreditation knowledge or experience and would like to contribute to this please contact the ASEM Executive Director (ExecutiveDirector@asem.org).
