My commitment and focus as an AIChE Director:

• Expand member participation, particularly young professionals, in our technical programs, both through successful, traditional modes and new virtual venues.

• Excite a broader base of AIChE members engaged in outreach — K–12 education, adult education, and humanitarian engineering.

• Improve AIChE’s value proposition to organizations employing chemical engineers, communicated through the voices of member employees.

• Pursue collaboration with other organizations — globally, in chemical engineering and in adjacent fields of practice — seeking channels for member-to-member interaction.

• Promote a broad, public recognition of the AIChE members who have provided significant technical contributions to society.

• Encourage AIChE member involvement in promoting sound science in the formation of public policy.

• Engage members in an exponentially higher level of conversation, within our membership body and with peers outside of AIChE, exploiting new networking technology.
