Welcome

ASME has been likened to the infamous elephant
seen by a group of blind peopleeach sees
something different.
4
ASME does have some aspects like that

• If you have only gone to Section meetings, youve
  seen a limited part of CMAs (KCs) activities.
• Members who have attended a major conference have
  seen one piece of COEs (KCs) many and varied
  programs.
• Codes and Standards volunteers may know only that
  very important part of ASMEs work.

5
One of our goals here at TEC is to help you see
the full scope of ASMEs activitiesand to
understand how your particular unit and job fit
into the bigpicture

Division Delegation, you ask?

  Technical Division think of yourselves as a
  delegation, working together to get the greatest
  benefit for your Division from this TEC. You may
  want to caucus at meals, to compare notes and to
  decide who will do what next.

Speaking of Delegations...

• There are people at this TEC from just about all
  of the Divisions in each of the current
  Vice-Presidential Groups, so its a great
