- Support student initiatives programs at District, Section and Chapter levels.
- Attract members to District meetings by keeping annual meetings affordable and expanding technical programs and training to the membership.
- Expand use of information technology to share information and tools.
Significant progress has been completed in these areas with commitment of District volunteers. The mentoring program has grown, and young members and their employers recognized.
