Greater Charleston Chapter 430 is awarded the Bronze Medal for Professional Development 2012

It takes a great deal of effort to make an SME chapter successful. What is the definition of chapter success? While this means different things to different people, we have to look at what SME states about its purpose. Through its many programs and activities, the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) connects manufacturing practitioners to each other, to the latest technology and the most up-to-date processes spanning all manufacturing industries and disciplines, plus the key areas of aerospace and defense, medical device, motorized vehicles and alternative energy. Our local chapter's ability to both link members together and to disseminate knowledge can be considered one measure of success. These can be facilitated by effective communication, interaction with local manufacturing, leadership development and best practices. Our Chapter award in Professional Development is defined as: · Professional development, which includes not simply the number and quality of meetings held by the chapter, but how leaders are developed to continue the work of the chapter.

Congratulations to the entire chapter for the work that went into winning this prestigious award.

The 3rd Annual Golf Event for Chapter 430 was a big success. The Chapter raised $5,038 that will be used to support our local schools as well as our Chapter.
