Hello My name is Kristin G.   I am the chair for SME  a nonprofit Professional Organization committed to promoting and supporting Engineering and Manufacturing  for students ( middle thru college) educators and professionals.  Our organization helps manufacturers grow and prosper  by developing a skilled workforce.  Our belief is Manufacturing is key to economic growth and prosperity.  My role for this organization is chair of  industry representatives, teachers, and students.   My background is in Education and work with the teachers to connect them to business so they can help students develop the skills need in the manufacturing industry.   We provide industry tours, networking events and professional development for our members and interested friends of manufacturing.  During COVID our chapter membership dropped and now we are working to regain membership and provide connection.    That is what brought our organization to Constant Contact.  We need a consistent communication plan that will serve new and current members.  I am retired from the workforce when not doing this project.....My husband and I are faux farmers and I am outside with our three alpacas, hazelnut trees and gardening. When inside I  am needle felting and trying new recipes.   ... View more
