SNAME: A Sea of Opportunity

[By: The Society of Naval Architects & Marine Engineers]

SNAME’s mission to advance the art, science and practice of the marine industry has never been more important. We are in a period of rapid change affecting not only the technologies we need to use but also the societal expectations that we need to meet. Membership in SNAME can help to provide access to the knowledge and resources that we as individuals and organizations need in adapting to these challenges. One of SNAME’s strengths is in its diversity, with a membership worldwide that encompasses a hugely varied set of skills and an equally broad range of perspectives. I encourage any of you who have not yet enjoyed the SNAME experience to join us: in a local Section meeting, through joining one of our Technical and Research Committees, or by attending a symposium or our annual Maritime Convention, this year in Providence, Rhode Island. I look forward to seeing you, on-line or in person.
