August 2014 Chairman’s Note

 

Greetings Milwaukee SAE Section,

I hope everyone had an enjoyable summer. As August winds down, school will be starting soon and fall is just around the corner. The end of summer also signals the beginning of the 2014-15 SAE year. The Governing Board has been hard at work putting together another great year of programming.

 

 

Greetings Milwaukee SAE Section,

I hope everyone had an enjoyable summer. As August winds down, school will be starting soon and fall is just around the corner. The end of summer also signals the beginning of the 2014-15 SAE year. The Governing Board has been hard at work putting together another great year of programming.

 

We start off this year in September with Harley-Davidson, taking an inside look at the new Street 500 and 750 bikes with the added bonus of the Project LiveWire motorcycles. Harley-Davidson has put together a top notch evening for us and this will definitely be a great kickoff to the year so please plan to join us.

 

In October we are going to be at Manitowoc Crane. This has been on the request list for a while and we’ve been able to schedule this for early October when the weather will be nice and they are putting together a great event for us. Be sure to keep an eye out for details in the next newsletter.

November will be our Annual Student Night. This is a great way to see the project vehicles that each student section is working on and talk with the students themselves about their designs and projects.

With the exciting lineup we have for this year I hope to see each of you at an upcoming event.

Garrett Herning

SAE Milwaukee Presents at SOLS 2014!

 

SAE Milwaukee Section officers Randy Hoffman, Jim Ryan, and Drew Boyer attended the 2014 Section Officer Leadership Seminar (SOLS) in May in Michigan. Our section was asked to partner with the Texas Section to present our best practices on our Student Involvement and Company Ambassador programs to other SAE sections from around the world. SAE International has recognized our section as the leaders when it comes to our involvement with the SAE student chapters. Some examples are: student chapters help run our registration at meetings, student attendance at our meetings, student networking with our Section Members and the great competition and cooperation at our annual Student Night. We presented to other SAE sections our best practices related to this success such as: a healthy section, professional member involvment, team work, communication, mission and vision, long term planning, continuity, good documentation, and responsibility. Our Company Ambassador program was also presented. Our section uses members as Ambassadors to help promote SAE at the company level and this has helped keep our membership strong at just over 1000 members. We presented on how we have made this a successful program and how it has been key in keeping our section as one of the top SAE Sections.
