Foundation Newsletter, October 2013

October 15, 2013

This is an exciting time for the AIChE Foundation. From increased corporate involvement in our Annual Gala, to the expanded support of the thousands of members who are contributing to the AIChE Annual Fund, the AIChE Foundation is playing a growing role in AIChE's progress. And, our Institute is prospering.

This success begins with the generosity of individual donors like you. Together, we are having a meaningful impact on our profession and its collective contributions to society. We are working to turn our aspirations into reality. We are addressing the world's grand challenges. We are developing AIChE's future leaders. We are embracing under-represented communities. We are improving undergraduate education and lifelong learning. And, we are making innovative use of virtual technologies for new products and services.

The Foundation's ability to reach these new heights is also the result of the hard work, commitment, and support of the Foundation's Board of Trustees and AIChE's Board of Directors. I thank them for making my service as Chair of the AIChE Foundation so meaningful and gratifying.
