Let me start by wishing all of you a very happy and joyous holiday season. Hopefully you will be able to take some time off and spend it with family and friends. As we close out the calendar year, ASPE is already in the process of planning some new and exciting things for 2018, so stay tuned.
I would like to recap the 2017 Technical Symposium that was held in October in Montreal, Quebec. � is Symposium was the second highest-attended in the history of ASPE. Attendees traveled to Montreal for the event for many diff erent reasons, but I would like to touch on a few of the more prominent ones. � is year we had the largest Product Show ASPE has ever hosted for a Symposium, which consisted of about 50 exhibitors and stretched over a two-day period. � is gave the attendees more time to interact with the exhibitors, and it was very well received. � is Symposium also gave us the opportunity to recognize those Chapters that earned the Award of Merit, Membership Growth Award, and Membership Retention Award. We also took some time to recognize and thank those who graciously contributed to the Education Fund and the Research Foundation.
� is year we off ered more than 35 technical sessions that were presented by the leaders in the industry. � e sessions were well attended and achieved high marks in satisfaction from the participants. � anks go to the Education Commit-tee for developing the tracks and topics, which were a big hit. ASPE also hosted our fi rst-ever Symposium party, which was held at the Grevin Wax Museum. � e attendees enjoyed some great food and drinks while mingling and taking pictures with some life-like fi gures such as Wayne Gretzky, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Tiger Woods, Harrison Ford, and Elton John.
During the Symposium, we set some time aside for many of our committees and special-interest groups to get together and talk about the future of ASPE. Yes, we squeezed in many diff erent events and activities over the course of a few days, but it was well worth the time and eff ort. Sleep was minimal due to the long days, but I can honestly say that the attend-ees made the most out of their time in Montreal. � is year’s Symposium would not have been possible, though, without the backing of our sponsors, for which we are very grateful. We depend on their support and they need you to support them, so please remember our sponsors who are a vital part of ASPE.

� e 2019 Technical Symposium will be held in Pittsburgh, but next up for the Society is the 2018 Convention & Expo, which will be held in Atlanta. � is event will begin on September 28th and conclude on October 3rd, so mark your calendar now and plan on being part of this great educational and networking opportunity.
Just prior to the Symposium, the Society Board of Directors got together to talk about ASPE’s current position and where this Society is heading. We covered many diff erent topics such as our special-interest groups, future growth opportunities, retaining and growing mem-bership, and strategic planning. We also viewed a video that stressed the importance of engagement and mutual commitment between an employee and their company to be successful. � is approach holds true for ASPE, our Chapters, and our volunteers. If we are going to be successful, we need each of our team members to be engaged. While walking through a shop in Montreal, I saw a sign that said: “Be creative, inspire, and start over.” � e message here is to try new ideas and fi nd a way to improve what you have been doing to make yourself better, regardless of what it takes. � is plays directly into a presentation our Executive Director/CEO gave to the Board of Directors during our stra-tegic planning discussion, which was based on the following statement: “Not new, just better.” Doing something just because you always did it that way may not work today.
Have a great holiday season, and I look forward to seeing you soon.
