With all the changes that are being developed during "Continuity and Change" process, it is imperative that the leaders of COE/CMA be up to date with actions and continuing plans of the soon-to-be Knowledge & Community (K&C) Groups and Institutes Sectors of ASME. For the most recent activities for Continuity and Change, please go to www.asme.org/change

Your active participation is key to the success and direction of the new K&C and Institutes Sectors.

We invite all delegates to an interactive discussion on K&C and Institutes Operations and and Financial Structure to be held on Friday, March 4, from 2:00pm to 3:45pm, prior to the start of the TEC. The session will be a facilitated discussion to explore both the operations and finances for units within the K&C area. The Session is open to all TEC delegates. A panel of ASME volunteers and Staff will be on hand to answer questions and build a roadmap for actions following the TEC.

As part of the preparation for this session, we ask that you become acquainted with the following background materials (attached) prior to coming to the meeting.

We also recommend that you become acquainted with ongoing activities and discussions taking place within the Community of Practice (CoP) website for Fair and Sustainable Accounting and Knowledge & Community. The CoP site is located at: https://cop.asme.org/COP. You must register with the CoP site to gain access and provide input. After registering, click on Join/Visit Communities and select:

In "Fair & Sustainable Accounting", the goal is to develop a financial model for reconciling unit support and entrepreneurship with the need to maintain organization viability and sustainability. Issues to be addressed include section appropriations and funding, custodian funds, and revenue sharing.

I look forward to you seeing you and sharing your feedback.
