Greater Detroit Chapter of IIE #47

President’s Message February 2008

Welcome back for another great year with the IIE Greater Detroit Chapter! Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve the chapter and help us grow even stronger in the coming year. We have a great board elected for 2008 with a blend of veteran and newly appointed officers to lend their experience and enthusiasm. As you attend programs throughout the year please make a point to meet your chapter officers and learn their goals for the chapter as well.

As we look forward to the program year in 2008 you will notice that we have the Six Sigma Symposium again in the fall. This will be the 6^th year for the event and it is growing stronger and larger than ever! Another newly recurring program will be the 2^nd IE Careers Symposium at Wayne State University. This event is in line with my personal goal of strengthening the relationship between the senior and student IIE chapters. We have a dedicated group of young engineers in the Greater Detroit area and their growing student chapters are a sign of the commitment they have made to IIE and the IE profession.

While some of our programs will be in line with the traditional schedule there have also been new editions thanks to the hard work of our program VP’s. One of the new programs will be our “Wednesday Mixers”. Join us for these and other social events that allow you to meet fellow IIE members and other professionals in a less formal setting.

I look forward to seeing everyone at our programs throughout 2008 and hope you will enjoy the new blend of professional and social events. As always, if you have any suggestions for programs or would like to help the chapter in any fashion please feel free to email me at president@iiedetroit.org. Thank you again for your support!

Sincerely,

Gary Altman
