ERM Announcements, November 17, 2022

Posted on by

Dear ERM members,

We have a light dusting of snow on the ground here in West Lafayette. It looks a little like a sprinkle of powdered sugar over everything. While I was a little unsure about the cold weather when I moved to the Midwest from the Southeast, I have learned to love the four seasons and the differences each bring (although I do admit that I start to dream of tropical vacations in early March).

I am looking for a volunteer for the ASEE Program Chair role for 2024. Due to the current ASEE financial situation, we will not be asking this person to plan the Annual Community Celebration & Awards Reception for the 2023 ASEE Annual Conference. We will combine our recognition of awardees with our Business Meeting. The individual can shadow the current Chairs this year to learn the NEMO system. This individual will also select our Distinguished Speaker for the 2025 ASEE Annual Conference and Exhibition. Please let me know if you are interested in this very important role for ERM.

I hope all of you are doing well! It was great to see some of you this week at the AIChE meeting!

All my best,

Allison
