Volunteer Travel Expense Forms will be distributed at the meeting.

We strongly encourage each section to sent at least one person. Better yet, two or three representatives from each section will help to create a dynamic and balanced group. Consider carpooling with others from your section or sections on your way to the event. Hotel rooms can easily accommodate 2 people – consider sharing a room to minimize expenses

This is a critical time for the Sections of ASME. We need your help to plan for a positive future.
