“I have encouraged my colleagues on a regular basis through most of my career to get involved with and participate in SAME. It is one of the few multi-discipline societies that provides opportunities to meet with, on a regular basis, professionals from all parts of the engineering business. Few professional organizations provide exposure to such a broad variety of professional experience and expertise while at the same time supporting the defense of our nation.”
–Lawrence Schorr
